Triangle baby quilt – 2021.04.25

There’s a new baby quilt evolving on my design wall, for my new great-niece Alice.

Alice has an older brother and sister who both have baby quilts from me. I thought it would be fun to use some of the fabrics from their quilts in this one.

This quilt will be mostly equilateral triangles, with a few diagonal bars. I came up with the idea for the bars because I have one fabric (the dark gray with white dots) that I really want to include in this quilt, but it isn’t wide enough for a triangle piece. I’m going to purposely offset the points of the triangles when I join the rows – for a more random look. My palette is low-volume neutrals, pinks and a few bright greens.

Here’s what I have so far on my design wall.

I cut a few triangles of each color and arranged them somewhat randomly on the design wall. I kept adding fabrics until I liked the composition. In addition to fabrics used in the above two quilts, I also included a pink fabric that my sister Anne (Alice’s grandma) and I dyed together when we were working on a collaborative project.

I haven’t decided on the overall size of the quilt. The top two rows are pieced, but I can always add more triangles to the ends if I decide to make it bigger. I’m just going to continue piecing rows until it looks big enough, or I run out of these fabrics.
