Quilt in a Day Forums

I found the triangles for this quilt at a neighbor's yard sale. Her great aunt had worked on this quilt. Some of the triangles were already sewn into bigger triangles. Some of the triangles were cut very well and some I had to re-cut, they seem to be at least three different batches of triangles. It is tied and is owned by my in-laws.

I probably wouldn't have tackled this quilt if the triangles hadn't been already cut. I don't like to waste anything. I made a small Kalediscope quilt with the leftover pieces. I don't have a digital photo of that.

What a treasure! You did a fantastic job on this. I love how you've set it, very creative. Have you shown your neighbor what you've done with it? Thanks for posting.

That is beautiful!

Yes, my neighbor saw it when she came for a visit. It was then that I found out that her great aunt had worked on it. That made it more special.

Wow, it's beautiful!

WOW - your quilt is very pretty. Looks like lots and lots of work.

It was a lot of work and I didn't get all the triangles to line up. Some of those even show in the photo. They are tricky. I started it the same year that I did a Storm-at-Sea quilt; that was harder to quilt.

You did a super job! It came out wonderful!

That is great scrappy look! How cool to know some of the history behind the pieces!
