Squirrely Triangles {Triangle Quilt Along}

Happy Friday Finishes! My Triangle Quilt Along quilt is done and I decided "Squirrely Triangles" would be an apt name. 

These fabrics were pulled 100% from my stash, about a dozen or so, based off the color palette from the squirrel and bunny fabric.  I'm super please with how my spur-of-the-moment fabric pull came together! The colors are so soft and pleasant.

The thing about triangle quilts-- the reason they are so "squirrely" are the points.  Paula at The Sassy Quilter did an excellent job guiding us through the steps to make these quilts successfully.  Personally, I think that perfect point are overrated (you can read my little rant about that here).

All the same I was tickled to find that probably 70% of my points in this quilt are what I would call "good."  (Full disclosure: I didn't starch.  I mixed quilting cottons and cotton lawns.  And my precision cutting leaves something to be desired.) What I'm saying is, if I could do it, you can do it, too.

I quilted it very simply with my walking foot, outlining all the seams in yellow thread.  I like the little stars this makes at all the intersections.

For binding I went with a yellow solid double fold, machine stitched down to both sides.  Binding along the zig zagged edges was time consuming, but not that difficult.

The backing is a cute floral with the same teals and greys as the top. I wish I'd found something more gender neutral, but oh well.

Label sewn under the binding.  It's done, washed, and ready for duty!
