Geo Quilt


Immediately after finishing my study for the semester I re- entered the woman cave, tided it up and began sewing. I had a stack of projects to finish, desperately wanting some new clothes to wear {more on that later} and was so excited to get to making and finishing off projects.

The first project I wanted to finish was this geometric triangle quilt. It is part of my new bedroom reno {I wont show you it on the bed till the rooms been painted} and I'm going to use it as my inspiration for the new look.

Originally I thought I would use batting this time round for a lighter blanket and easier quilting but after pricing the batting I reverted to my trusty thrifted wool blanket. I thrifted the grey backing a week or two ago and used the mustard as the binding. I'm pretty chuffed with the outcome and completly happy with the weight of the wool blanket inside. I quilted it in long straight lines down the gutter of the seams but could not quilt the triangles as I wanted to in the beginning as my triangles were completely wonky in regard to each other {lets not go there}.

I took some inspiration from My Poppet who was doing a triangle quilt along at the same time as I had started this quilt. My poppet has  has some great tips if you are looking at doing your first quilt.

wow! love it, the yellow binding is just perfect. Would love to include it in a reader project gallery I'm creating for the blog.

Love it Michelle. the chevron, grey and mustard- three of my favourites.
How did you find sewing through the thickness of the blanket + fabrics? Did you use a normal foot?
