Nacho Ordinary Quilt by Cherese C

I finished my quilt just under the deadline. I took me longer than last time to come up with an "outside the block" idea. I was talking with my sister about the challenge and we must have been hungry. I thought 'tortilla chips are triangular'.  We tossed around a few other ideas and the chips were put on the back burner. 

I  tried a different idea, but I didn't like how it was turning out. For the next day or so the tortilla chip idea came creeping back into my head. Thus Nacho ordinary quilt was created. I am using these challenges to push myself and practice my free motion quiltimg.

The Quilt is approximately 11x17. It is fusible applique and free motion quilted.

Pretty in Pink by Liz M

Project Quilting 9.2
Quilt is 20” by 22”

I love my time in Sanibel Florida. My inspiration is the Pink Flamingos that inhabit these tropical islands and the warm gulf waters.

My first with piecing a triangular background. I love the look and plan to use in another project.

The appliqué flamingo was a learning process as well. I used an exacto knife to cut the pink triangles. A bit laborious but was worth the time and effort.
The fabrics are a mixture of Cherrywood Fabrics and hand dyed fabrics. The pattern for the flamingo was found on a clip art website as a free download - artist unknown.

I have enjoyed the process and am learning new techniques each time I complete a new challenge.

Triangles Have Heart by Robin J

I call it triangles have heart. It is 7" square. Composed of scraps from a pineapple quilt I'm working  on for my grand daughter.

I decided to again do something I've never done before and I like it enough to try it larger. Thanks for your time and inspiration.

What If? by Sharon Scott

This placemat sized piece is called “What If?”

I consider each of the challenge pieces to be an experiment.  For this triangle challenge I included some fabrics that had triangles on them and I initially made 5 inch half square triangles. 

Then I asked myself “What if?” I would slice them up and this is the result.  I also quilted it in random triangle shapes.

Trashy Stashy Triangly Placemats by Virginia P

Trashy Stashy Triangly Placemats. Made from scraps destined for the trash but saved by the triangle challenge! Made in my home in Maxwell, Iowa. Size is 23 x 16 1/2.

Accidently put the back fabric on upside down, so not reversible as planned. The little scrap of fabric on the back shows what the back was supposed to look like. Still, I like them and will use them.

A Triangle House for Zachary

My name is Charlene Morris, I live in Rex, Georgia with my cat, Zachary, my dog , Jack , grandcat Sweet Pea, and a finch named Mr Bird. I made my cat, Zachary, a triangle house.

Zachary lost his best friend recently and is always in a tight fitting area to sleep because they cuddled together therefore I constructed it  for his needs.  I constructed it using foam like making purses. Each side is 15" and it is 15" tall.  I did a quilt as you go technique with inside seam binded so he would not pull at threads. Zachary likes his house .

Wild Angles by JeanAnn F

“Wild Angles”

14” x 19”

JeanAnn Fenrich, playing with fiber and fabrics in Scandia, Minnesota.

With the Week 2 theme “Triangulation" I wanted to create a piece with all triangles and straight sides. Other than the overall rectangular shape, all elements of this wall hanging are made up of 3-sided pieces from the polygonal jackrabbit to the mountains, moon and even the falling snowflakes.

The piece was inspired by my daughter’s interest in jackrabbits and the fact that she lives in Montana with awesome views of the Gallatin Mountain range.

I traced a head and body from 2 different images of jackrabbits and then applied triangles.  The outline was printed on fabric with a home inkjet printer. This was the guide for the fabrics that made up the rabbit with the thought that the it would become an appliqué itself. The next step was outlining the fabric triangles with thread to maintain the polygonal art style.

The entire rabbit was cut away from the foundation fabric and then satin stitched to the layered background.

To keep the jackrabbit as the primary focus I used a sheer gray organza over the entire piece. This helped tone down the white “snow" and give it an overall nighttime feel.

After the jackrabbit was stitched, falling “snowflakes” were added by breaking apart one of the specialty stitch on my Bernina.

This small art quilt is bound and ready to hang as soon as it gets from Minnesota to Montana.

Let Your Freak Flag Fly (Scrappy Style) by Cheryl

I'm not much of a precision quilter, so I thought triangles would be tough, but I ended up having a lot of fun with it!

Three Sheets to the Wind by Carolyn Spitz

Created for the Project QUILTING challenge – Triangulation.

"Three Sheets to the Wind" takes a humorous story approach to the triangulation theme.  Not only can triangles be found in the design and quilting but the three theme also appears in the martini glasses before, during and after happy hour!

I recently have been exploring painting fabrics so this challenge incorporates that interest in my creation process.  I used markers and paints on a background of my hand-dyed fabric.  The olive appliques use commercial cotton and silk fabrics.

Size is 10 inches x 17 inches

Prism by Diane Crawford

my entry for Project Quilting 9.2

Introducing "Prism". As a kindergarten and first grade teacher (now happily retired) I always shared the magic of the prism with my students.

They may have been too young to understand the science, but then they understood why Mrs. Crawford displayed and recited the colors in a specific order.  It measures 16’ x 16”.

Thanks,

Triangulation Challenge Quilt by Sandra B

Triangulation Challenge Quilt

My name is Sandra Jo Bleicher I live in Juneau, Alaska.   My quilt is 19.5 x 3 inches .  My thought process was to use what I had on hand and that began with the left over triangles from flying geese and have square triangle.  I then decided why not make the quilt into a triangle shape.   

I machined appliqué the triangles with invisible thread.  My quilting was done with my walking foot and invisible thread and yes I buried every single knot for each of those individual triangle steps.  It was interesting figuring out how to bind this quilt.  But I feel good about with how it turned out.

Merkaba by Jen Mulder

My entry for the Project QUILTING Triangulation challenge is called Merkaba.  It was designed on 60 degree triangle graph paper and cut on the Accuquilt. Having the tabs on the bias kept the rows nice and tidy.  Originally I planned an 84 inch quilt, but I scaled it down for sanity purposes.  It is 45 inches square.

I used 8 yellow Kona Cottons, 5 golden Kona Cottons, 5 orange Kona cottons, and 5 off white/light yellow Kona Cottons for the different visible planes of the star tetrahedron design.  To keep it scrappy I picked 16 pink/purple Kona Cottons for the background.

I was a bit nervous about the y seam in the center where the white, orange and gold planes come to a point, but I got it on my first go and was thrilled it laid flat! 

For the quilting, I did a different fill pattern in each plane to increase the three dimensionality.  

Thanks for looking - I create in Madison, WI USA.
