Triangle QAL Plan

Over the past week, I have spent several hours starching and pressing my collection of Winsome fabrics from Nancy Halvorsen.  I bought these fabrics before I had children and am excited to see what they become.  I have have never spent the time starching fabrics (especially not four layers of starch as Alyssa recommends in her video tutorial.)  But alas, this is my first triangle quilt and I want the points to match.

Paula at The Sassy Quilter is doing a Triangle Quilt Along and I wanted to join the fun.  I missed the first two weeks of selecting fabric and cutting the triangles, but I'm hoping I can get the rows pieced by next week's deadline.

Instead of only one size of equilateral triangles as the quilt along suggests I decided to first piece my triangles, then form the rows.  I was looking for a way to maximize my fat eighths and not end up with 400 four-inch triangles.

After seating the web high and low I found the Cosy Posy Triangle Pattern from the Moda Bake Shop.  Erica at Kitchen Table Quilting.  She started out with 2 jelly rolls and some yardage.  I have 35 fat eighths plus a few scraps.  I adapted her pattern to my fabric and came up with 6 different equilateral blocks that each measure 8.5" tall.

Hopefully mine looks as awesome as hers.

Now that everything is starched, I hope to cut and piece this weekend.  Hopefully I can show you the block designs soon.
