Batik Triangles

 


 Winter is here with freezing temperatures, and what gives a better contrast than bright batik triangles?!

I had a lit of batiks in my stash, and figured out that they would be great for a charity quilt. I decided to make my first, ever, triangle quilt. I cut the triangles using the Hex'n More ruler. 

After cutting I realized there was one triangle short to make the last row complete, so I fussy cut a cherry block (can you find it?).



 The backing is a great panel with dragons and castles. It wasn't wide enough, but a green strip with leaves took care of that. quilting is done with a green thread on the front and a light green thread in the bobbin. Finished size is 33" x 53" after a washing and drying cycle.

This is my twelfth charity quilt for the year 2023, and number 104 all time for the children's ward at the hospital. 


Keep on quilting!
