Triangle Pair

I finished the Triangles quilts I made for my brothers. One is already flying across the country, the other needs to have beauty shots taken.

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 the from stash made backing of Triangle Twirl. After its beauty shots and a trip through the washing machine, it will take a trip to its new home in Colorado.

Here's a closeup of Triangle Twirl's quilting.
