Triangle Tango Finish

"Triangle Tango" is a pattern by Missouri Star Quilt Company, or you can see it made on Youtube as the "Falling Triangles" quilt. But quite honestly, after seeing the online picture of it, I created it in EQ7.

My version makes 8" blocks which are just half-square triangles in an Attic Windows setting. My quilt is 62" X 74".


Isn't this a pretty spot? It's at the back of the sales office building in Brownwood, a few miles from my house.

I didn't want to spend hours custom quilting this one, so I used a blue wash-out marker to section off three areas. Then, in each of those areas I quilted a different all over design.
Hooked swirls.

Triple paisleys. 

Clamshells.

The sections are divided by circles that I quilted with the aid of a 1/8"-thick acrylic circle ruler. These aren't meant for ruler work quilting, so what I did in this video is a "no-no." It could have been disastrous if the ruler foot hopped up over the ruler.


Another pretty finish, I think, with this yellow mini pearl bracelet binding.

I'm trying to get half-square triangles out of my system. Can you tell? Linda

    I love this quilt! The different quilting patterns really make you take notice and draw you in. Sometimes you need to break the rules to get what you want!

    This is so bright and cheery. The yellow binding is a perfect touch.

    Bright and happy, and a great selection for the colorful triangles! I don't think we'll ever get half-square triangles out of our systems!! They make such fun quilts and are full of surprises.

    HSTs can be really awesome. This is a nice design for them, and a terrific fabric medley, Linda :)

    I really like this one! The colors - the movement.
    I am going to try dividing my next quilt in sections. I get bored using the same all over design throughout the quilt but don't want to take the time to custom quilt everything. I think this is the perfect way to do it.

    Oh my "Anonymous" Aren't you asking for a lot?! :-) First, I don't know how to reply to you because you ARE Anonymous! Second, this is a quilt made SEVEN years ago! Okay, let me see if I can find the design I created on EQ... Nope. Sorry, I don't have it anymore. You can probably still find the pattern through Missouri Star Quilt Company.

    Anyway... I doubt you'll ever read this reply back to you. Linda
