The Quilt -- Triangles II

I made this quilt for my sister for Christmas. I had been eying a triangle quilt I had seen on Tumblr for a while. First I made a blue and green (with some surprise purple triangles)triangle quilt top, then I moved on to this triangle. I had been eying the brown fabric for weeks, but I just did not know what to do with it and then while thinking about a challenge quilt in progress I found these other tan/green/blue brown prints and I knew just what to do with it.

Pinning the quilt -- a sun dappled afternoon.

My two tables have leg extenders which simply slip over the legs and make the tables about 8 inches taller than standard. I really like working at the tables with the leg extenders (I pay bills and sort papers standing at a single table). The extra height can make it a little bit hard to reach to the very center of the two of them together, but the height makes standing so much easier on my back -- easier than crawling round on the floor let alone working at a standard low table.

The Quilt

The back is a lovely snugly flannel with colours that are a beautiful match for the colours of the quilt top.
