oh yeah, i think this fabric is going to be fine for the setting triangles. usually i plan these things ahead and sew the triangles on BEFORE the rows get put together, always when machine piecing. this little serendipitous project was hand pieced and the setting triangle fabric hadn't been chosen so they will get set in by hand--a good portable project. gee, i am really liking how this is going to finish up. **** just this morning heard that ice season was nearly over here in new england....doesn't hurt me one bit! sure, we might get some more rogue snows but it can't last as mr. sun is bearing down on us much warmer these lengthening days. **** it's my weekend and i've got a long list of things i hope to accomplish, which is always too ambitious, but i know some of them will get crossed off. getting a bit of a late start due to a couple of late nights but first up...laundry!
Great looking little basket quilt! I do like the setting triangles in red, but even by hand, I would have a hard time setting in those triangles. My hat's off to you!
ReplyDeleteRed is my neutral, so I love it! Whenever completed vintage quilts are sold on Ebay, the ones with the red backgrounds always command higher prices.
