I briefly mentioned sometime last week my love for Triangles on a Roll. What are they? Only the coolest invention ever for quick and precise piecing of half square triangles.
Still don't know what I'm talking about?
Dude. You can make this accurately and precisely. And pretty quickly too.
Make a bunch.
Then play around with the arrangement.
I went with this pinwheel design for the quilt I'm working on now. Made with Pop Garden.
It might be my most favoritest quilt ever. And just because I say that about each and every quilt I'm working on doesn't mean it isn't true.
This quilt is off to the long arm quilter today. And I'm keeping it for sure. But, Jen Duncan happens to be giving away a quilt made with the same fabric over on her blog. It is a real beauty and anyone would be lucky to win it.
Now where is my roll of Triangles?

How fresh and springy. Cant wait to see the finished product. I have wondered about triangles on a roll. Cool that they work.
