Lent has arrived, and while I don't have nearly the ambition of a few years ago for my annual Quilts for Kids project, this one's a start.
I became a fan of triangles when I made this quilt. I loved the way they looked on a uniform background, and when I looked at the rows upside down, they reminded me of pennants. It planted a seed of an idea, one that had been growing for a few months.
Last Sunday turned out to be harvest day.
Bored with sewing bindings on by hand (which aggravates my carpal tunnel, anyway, so I can't do it for very long), I pulled out my Tri-Recs ruler and started cutting. And sewing. And quilting. And by yesterday, I was done.
Do you know how rare it is for unfocused ADD-prone me to start and complete a quilt in a week without bouncing off to another project (or two, or three) halfway through? It's a Lenten miracle!

That is gorgeous and I love the way you have quilted it.
Congrats on your finish! It looks great. Nifty idea, and I like your quilting as well.
Yes, it's hard to focus on one thing until completion. I know your pain! Pretty much the story of my life. LOL
Sorry to hear about your Mom. That's how I broke my arm a few years ago, and I know it's Not Fun. Nor is it fun for the helpers. I hope she is feeling better now, and able to use her arm some. PT isn't much fun either.
Very cute! Love the quilting!
That's a fun and happy quilt, Kate. It's good to have a smaller project that finishes up before too long ; )
Sorry to hear about your mom.
