Triangle Baby Quilt

There's a Pinterest pinboard I go to when I need to make a baby quilt. It's full of ideas, and this time, the Triangle Baby Quilt by Allison/Cluck Cluck Sew caught my eye. And luckily, Allison had provided enough of a tutorial that it was easy to closely replicate.


Happily, I was able to pull a combo of blues and yellows from stash and just enough Kona white to fill in. Though I'd done triangles before [here, here, and here], I refreshed myself with Paula/The Sassy Quilter's piecing triangle rows, so it was smooth sailing from there.


For quilting I followed my normal trinity, following the lines of the triangles, their seam lines marked out to the edges with a Hera marker, and in between those lines, I sewed by eye, creating a diamond-like grid approximately 2" wide.


I was on a roll, I guess, feeling a little overshadowed by what else I had going on, and went ahead and bound the little quilt by machine while I was at it. Not my norm, but it felt good to do it that way on this quilt at this time. That finished the quilt at 39" x 45".


It felt good to be able to whip this one up over several days. Good for the stash, good for me, good for the little guy it'll be gifted to soon.

  5. Isn't it fun to have a project that is quick and easy once in a while? I'm in awe that you machine stitched the binding on, not something that I've ever done! The colors and quilting couldn't be more perfect!

  7. This is beautiful! A great baby gift in wonderful colors. I would call a quilt with triangles intermediate and not easy, but I am glad it was easy for you.
