I finished another new quilt this weekend, A Chicopee Triangles & Colorblock Quilt! Many thanks to those of you offered up sashing help on Thursday!! I was working on finishing up my triangle blocks, stopping to read your suggestions as they came in, agreed that the white had to go, and then I had to do some thinking. I was really torn between the Chicopee & grey and the Chicopee & aqua, yellow combo for a little while.
I loved the way the grey warmed up this collection and kept it a little masculine, but equally loved how the two solid colors brightened everything up. Curious, I decided to see how things would look if I added even more colors to the mix, with the grey as well, and I loved it!!
Seeing all those Art Gallery Pure Elements beautifully blur together with the Chicopee colors made such a pretty picture!
The back is imporv pieced together using up some of my left over triangles, to make one large triangle, combined with several more Pure Element Solids. I snapped this photo early Saturday morning, I just love these colors together with the Chicopee patchwork!
I went with 505 Spray again for the basting, and quilted when I found the chance throughout the rest of the weekend, using a colorful, Brick Red Aurifil Thread.
I was pretty nervous about how my quilting would look on all those solid fabrics that made up the back, with such an obvious thread choice, but I went for it anyways!
My binding is made of Dark Citron Pure Element, my favorite shade of green!!
I wish I wouldn't have gotten better photos of the finished front, this is my best shot!
Thankfully the back photos turned out nice. I'm really happy I went with something modern and improv for the back!
This was a really fun quilt for me to make and is my husband's new favorite! It finished measuring 50" x 56", so a nice quilt size for the couch!
I have my Applique Art quilt top all basted and ready to be finished next, just as soon as I figure out a plan for the quilting!
Wishing you all a wonderful new week! ♥, Maureen
Beautiful, Maureen! I love the triangle blocks!
ReplyDeleteNo pictures of the front??
ReplyDeleteI think the quilting looks fabulous on the back, and really like how you pieced the back.
The first pictures are of the finished quilt top front, and I mentioned in the post that the finished front pics just didn't turn out. They were really out of focus for some reason? I'm going to try again later today to get a good front shot and then I'll add it to my post here! :)
DeleteI just updated my post with a better pic of the front! :)
Deleteyay, I was really curious how the diamond/zig zag worked with the borders. It is so lovely!
DeleteThis quilt is beautiful Maureen! I love the back almost as much as the front.
ReplyDeleteyou are an incredible talent Maureen!! I bow to your creativity and freedom to go outside the box. I must learn from you!
ReplyDeletereally beautiful. I love the colors together and it sure will add color anywhere it is
ReplyDeleteI wish I was as brave as you when it comes to design and quilting. This is just plan gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I recently tried to make a doll sized quilt for my daughter- it took forever and came out horrible, so I can definitely appreciate how much work you put into your quilts, and they come out so beautifully! I've not yet seen a quilt on your blog that I did not like!
ReplyDeleteI really love this, it's so striking. Love the deep tones and the back is fab!
ReplyDeleteI love this. So beautiful, simple clean lines, very modern and striking. This inspires me! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteFawn
Love it!
ReplyDeletewow!! just wow, i am so totally in love with this quilt, i really like all the colours you used
ReplyDeleterachael :)
Beautiful quilting. I've been pondering how I'll want to quilt my triangles quilt, and you've now given more possibilities. Can't wait to see the front.
ReplyDeleteThe quilting is great! I love the shapes it makes on the back.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! The aqua blasts really brighten up the neighboring colours.

ReplyDeleteStunning! Love it!
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm so inspired to make triangle blocks ~ love how your triangles turned out and the sashing looks great ~ you made it really fast!
ReplyDeleteHow big did you make your triangles, Maureen? I've been playing around with my template and can't decide how big to make them.
This quilt is a treasure and I love the back as much. Beautiful, stunning...
ReplyDeleteMaureen this is so gorgeous! I love it. The quilting looks so cool on the back too. So glad you got to play and have fun making this quilt :)
ReplyDeleteThis is really awesome! I love it
ReplyDeleteUh-mazing quilt! LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteLaurie~
what a gorgeous quilt! i love the rich colors and the effect that the sashing gives of being some kind of lattice that you overlaid on top. the quilting looks great, too!
ReplyDeletelove your bright colors
ReplyDeleteMaureen this turned out so gorgeous. I really love these fabrics....
ReplyDeleteAre you going to post instructions for the triangle piecing or is it available somewhere? Love it!
ReplyDeleteI would love to do a pattern or tutorial for this whole quilt or at least the blocks. Before I do, I really need to finish up my other quilts and tutorials I started, but I wouldn't mind at all making this quilt again! It was so quick and enjoyable!! Thanks so much for asking!
DeleteOH WOW!!! This is totally gorgoeus malorgous!!! What a beauty and with that I shall shut up. Except to echo what Barb said above please?
ReplyDeleteVery nice -- thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteMaureen, this is GORGOUS!!!! My favorite one yet! :D
ReplyDeleteLove it - I think Chicopee is the best thing going at the moment! Great work :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's such a beautiful quilt!
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful! I'd love a tutorial when you have time, too :) Although in a month I have a feeling my sewing time is going to diminish significantly....
ReplyDeleteIt looks fab, love how it turned out :o)
ReplyDeleteYet another beautiful MCH creation! While I still haven't been sewing, the fam and I did a super fun craft the other night and I think you, as a fellow lover of all things Anthro, would love it.
ReplyDeleteWe made Sharpie mugs but I used the Anthro mugs as my inspiration. Come on over and see what you think:)

ReplyDeleteLove the sashing choice and the quilt as a whole.
ReplyDeleteI gotta be honest, I wasn't a huge fan of the Chicopee line --it felt too ditzy before. But seeing your quilt I really *love *it! . I *love* how you made it bold and color-blocked with the triangles.
ReplyDeleteYou knocked this one out of the park. Yay!
It's just beautiful. Off to pinterest where I'm sure it's already been pinned and is waiting for me to repin it!
ReplyDeleteI especially love the back of this quilt. I don't know why, but I seem to be becoming a big fan of the back of quilts recently.
ReplyDeleteIt's such a happy colorful quilt! I especially like the triangle on the back. That's a very clever way to use up the triangles!
ReplyDeleteLove this quilt. Any special tips for sewing the triangles? I am hoping for a shortcut, but guessing there really isn't one.
ReplyDeleteLove Love Love this quilt - front and back! I'm so glad you didn't go with one color on the sashing.
ReplyDeleteColorful and non-traditional in its construction. I like it!
ReplyDeleteI'm really impressed - I would have used a single color for the background, but I love this so much more! I'm really inspired, and of course the back is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteЯрко, красочно, позитивно!!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a rich, colorful quilt. Makes you happy to just look at it!
ReplyDeleteyou nailed it!!! amazing. i want to just dive into it. so interesting to look at, i don't think i could stop staring at it (or snuggling in it) if that quilt was in my house.
ReplyDeleteoh my tsuru arrived today! i'm in love. thanks again!
Wow, beautiful combination of colors. That quilting just makes the back kick up to another even cooler level.
ReplyDeleteI think I am in love with this quilt, I want it!!!!!! So much to look at, I could stare at it all day!
ReplyDeleteThe colors are beautiful. And yay for a nice finish! I got some Tsuru this week. Can't wait to cut into it!
