good and plenty!

It's been lying on the bed for two weeks now, and I finally got around to taking a picture, even though it's still dark and snowing outside...


The girls stopped in from school on a short break so they helped to hold up the quilt...


The quilt top is almost 3 meters by 3 meters in size, made up of scraps of fabric, including the muslin.   2136 triangles, if I counted correctly.  Phew! 
I had this puppy machine quilted, the first time I've done that.  I'm glad I did!
Now our bed finally has a quilt of its own and it's large enough for us to get under without having to fight for a corner...lol!

..but it still hasn't made a dent in my scrap stash......

so on to more finishes!

That's a beautiful quilt! I love the triangles. Did you notice that the number of triangles is divisible by 3? I'm not sure why I noticed or why it's interesting to me ... maybe I'm a little weird.

Thank you Berna, and Doris!
Doris: you know that I didn't even think of that? LOL!
I don't think it's weird at all, it just makes it much more interesting...lol!

This quilt is beautiful!! I love traditional pieces...especially stash quilts. Lovely job on the piecing. It will be great to snuggle under in this cold winter.

Schitterend deze quilt! Het voelt goed om 'oud spul'op te maken, ik gebruik ook graag wat ik heb liggen. Dank je voor je reactie op de beer!
