Wanda always says there's no magic quite like a quilt made with one block, and she's right.

The quilt was made from stash, and so was the back.
Here it is laid out flat. Although this quilt is made from blocks that are half black and half white, notice how the quilt "reads" as mostly black.
One of the things I find interesting about quilts is how often the binding tells the quilt what color it is. Triangle Twirl has just as much black as white in the quilt, yet because the quilt has light edges and a light binding, the quilt "reads" as white.
Here's a closeup of Triangle Twirl's quilting.

I love both quilts! Such a nice combination of fabrics.
Beautiful -- that outdoor shot in the tree really shows off the quilt! Interesting note about the different bindings on two similarly colored quilts changing the way they read overall. Hope your weather is better today than our's (gray, soggy, rainy).
Beautiful; both of them! Interesting point on "reading" a quilt through its binding; that is really a game changer in overall appearance.
I just have to say that you have the best color sense of any quilter I know and really, really choose exceptional fabrics.
I really love that first quilt. I can see I need to do one with a tall triangle.
Oh, these are fantastic! Great job! I'm sure your brothers will love them.
Now I want to cut all my stash into triangle...
Simple, yet effective. You've got to LOVE a scrappy quilt!! BOTH quilts are wonderful and I hope your brothers love them,too.
