Triangle Star Ribbon Winner

 I entered my Triangle Star quilt in the Capital Quilters Guild Quilt Show which is open today and tomorrow in Raleigh at the NC State Fairgrounds.  It won an honorable mention ribbon.

This quilt has 560 HSTs and I'm proud to say every point is perfect!

Triangle Star Quilt

 I'm busy working on a quilt top that I made. I'm doing custom stitching on it and I've been working on it for 2 days and I hope to finish it tomorrow night. I have about 7 hours work left on it, not counting breaks. I'll start early tomorrow morning!

The pattern is called Triangle Star and it was created by Edyta Sitar.  

Triangle Star top

I took my longarm machine to the shop for servicing and it's going to be 3 weeks before they can get to it. To stave off the withdrawal I'm busy sewing some of my many UFOs.  Today, I finished the main part of my Triangle Star quilt top!  It has 560 HSTs and made with scraps along with a background fabric.  All it needs now is to add the borders, and then the longarming!

My latest quilt is called Triangle Stars.  It has 560 HSTs.  In August, my husband and I spent a week in Williamsburg, Virginia at a resort.  He spent some of his time riding his bike on the bike trails and I spent my time sewing the HSTs.  I put the HSTs together last month and now I'm making the applique blocks. There are appliques that go in each corner and then I can assemble the blocks!
