I had to really take time to find the right position of the print for the triangles. I made the very center four blocks first to make sure they would match good. It turned out very pretty. She used it as a wedding present. Since she gave this one away, she wanted one for herself. This time in blue and orange, but the border print she picked out for the triangles were harder to cut out and did not match the colors very well. It still turned out nice. </p>http://www.quiltersclubofamerica.com/media/p/448252.aspxFri, 26 Oct 2012 23:10:07 GMT722ae0af-0843-4f69-80d5-ea157d187469:448252okiebarb1<p>This is the quilt I learned how to do rotory cutting. A friend of mine asked me to make him a quilt from Crown Royal sacks he had collected while working in the oilfield. I could not find anything that would mark on the purple sack fabric. I used a rectangle shape to get the size he wanted. Using yellow and gold with the purple really made a nice trip pattern. Later I learned gold and purple were their school colors. I used the smaller bags cut into squares and put them on point on each side for a border. This was one of my first special order quilts. </p>
