Thank Goodness It's Finished Friday is once again being hosted here on the east coast of Canada. If you are new to TGIFF, this is an opportunity to share your finish from the week, either through a blog post or an Instagram photo.
If you would like to host TGIFF, there are lots of dates available for the remainder of 2020. You can sign up here.
You may remember from a previous blog post that I took an
EQ8 workshop at QuiltCon Austin. I designed something simple to practice the techniques I learned and then actually make the design.
This piece finishes at 28 inches, using Kona Nightfall and Tangerine. If you start at the top left-hand corner, the path follows the direction of each flying geese block.
This was another opportunity to practice big stitch hand quilting (which I also learned at QuiltCon Austin). I tried a new-to-me perle cotton --
Presencia perle cotton size 12 #7567 Medium Orange Spice that I purchased from
Mad About Patchwork.
My friend Dena thought it would be interesting to put a triangle in the binding. I must stop consulting with her, but she always has great ideas. 😉 I could have added a triangle the full width of the binding, but then it wouldn't look like a triangle. But how to add a tiny triangle???? I was intrigued, so I played around with some scraps. Even after I thought I had it correct on the good binding, I still had to make an adjustment. It worked!!
I don't have a specific plan for this quilt, but I'm thinking it may make an appearance on a wall in my house.
Another photo of the binding triangle because it's so darn cute. 😊
