Equilateral Triangle Quilt Along

Warning: Equilateral Triangle Quilts are cute and addictive.

I completed my first Equilateral Triangle quilt on Valentines day - the Fox & Friends quilt.

Fox & Friends by me!

I wrote tutorials for cutting and piecing equilateral triangles.
You can find the tutorial for cutting the triangles here.
And the tutorial for piecing triangles here.


Linda bought my Fox & Friends quilt pattern and shared these photos with me!

Linda's Fox & Friends quilt!

I love the dark blue flannel backing she chose.
And that polka dot binding is adorable!

Linda's Raccoon peeking!


For this quilt along, I have decided on the following layout for my triangles.
There are 12 rows of 17 pieces each.
And I am leaving the sides, as is.........
I think!
Planned Layout - 39" x 45"

This will result in a 39" x 45" quilt using 204 triangles.
Which are all cut out, stacked and ready to piece!



Have you ever wanted to make an equilateral triangle quilt?

I'm doing the quilt along too! I see you've used your accuquilt (or something similar) to cut your fabric. I have to do mine by hand, so it's taking me a bit longer to cut (200 more to go). Are you planning any foxes, or butterflies or the like in this one?

It is such a clever idea to have seen in your quilt Fox and Friends. I'd love to see what you create for the TQA!!

Vicki said...

This is so much fun...seeing you go from a pic of fabric to the triangles, etc. Exciting!

Thanks for being an encourager for the Triangle QAL. I'm going to try this one - lots of firsts in this for me. I'm excited to see each quilt evolve.

What an adorable quilt. I can see why the triangles are so addictive. Thanks for the inspiration. I've just added these to my bucket list.

I just ordered my equilateral triangle die from accuquilt. I am all for automating the process.
