A triangle quilt had been on my 'to-do' list
for quite some time now...

I chose to make mine from Denyse Schmidt's
"Picadilly" fabric range from Spotlight,
complemented by Kona solid in Limelight...

I had great success with spray basting,
using 505 Spray and Fix for the first time-
hardly a pucker in sight!
I used my favourite thread- Aurifil!
No.1231, which I call Pacific Lime of course!
It was a perfect match!
I quilted in a double diagonal line about 1/4"
on either side of the triangles....
giving a diamond pattern all over!
It is not a large quilt-
about 44" by 56"
I think it would make a great picnic quilt...
or maybe just a couch quilt!
Now to decide what to make next....
Happy sewing!

This looks amazing - really love the fresh colours and the quilting!
It looks great Suz, lovely and fresh!
Nice work, Suz, very Springy (autumn-schmutumn, right?). Love the pattern the diagonals make on the back too!
the quilt looks great.......
What a great finish! The colors are fantastic and it is perfectly quilted! I am so glad you had a chance to try spray basting. I don't use it every time but on small quilts I do. It sure saves time!
This is wonderful!! Love the colour combo and great quilting. Isn't 505 the best?
This is beautiful! Love the lime quilting. Just overall really striking!
Your quilt is amazing! Just beautiful! Love the colors, the fabric, and the quilting!
I LOVE your quilt! I've had a triangle quilt on my own to-do list for a year or more. I adore your colour choices and I'm obsessed with Aurifil thread too! Great work!!!! (was it difficult to do???)

I really really like this one Suz. Love the colors and the triangles. I just bought a triangle ruler so I think a triangle quilt is in my future too. Hopefully soon. Great photos too. Especially like the one in the tree.
Absolutely gorgeous!! Beautiful fabrics and colours!
Oh! I love that. All that beautiful lime green matched with the lovely cobalt blue. I think I've got that same Auriful thread and I love it too. Great quilt.
Yay! Congratulations on finishing such a fabulous quilt! Gorgeous colours and I really like the way you quilted it too.
These colors! Those triangles! That straight line quilting! Love it all!
Beautiful quilt. I have a Christmas wall hanging that is waiting to be quilted. My plan was to do the same thing you did with your quilt. You have confirmed for me it will look great.
Lovely work. These triangles are looking great. Love the colours and the quilting.
Suz, I just love this quilt and the colors are perfect!!! I, too, just finished my first triangle quilt and am tickled with the outcome - there will be more!
Love it! That green Kona is gorgeous. Can't go wrong with the DS fabric.
Love it! A triangle quilt is still on my To Do list!
It's fabulous - love everything about this quilt.
What a great finish! The colors are so refreshing. It really would make a great picnic quilt. Excellent work, as usual!
Amazing quilt - everything about this quilt seems perfect! Love love that color combination!
I just love the colors in this quilt! The diagonal quilting lines on the back have made such a pretty design. This is a great quilt, for the couch or picnicking!
