I love the triangle portion of this paper pieced quilt pattern!  Because the triangles vary greatly in size, I was able to use tiny scraps of fabric - some of which had been handed down to me from my grandmother.  She had used the fabrics to make dresses for my mother and her sisters. 

The curves required quite a bit of hand basting, but the quilt is absolutely my favorite!

You did an outstanding job on that quilt, it is so pretty, no it's gorgeous!  I love all the subtle jewel colors, that shiny fabric really makes it look expensive.

Many thanks to all for these kind and generous comments.

I loved making this quilt - especially finding ways to incorporate my Grandmother's fabrics.  

I had it quilted by a wonderful woman who does long arm quilting.  She did such wonderful work!  

It hangs in an alcove in the hallway - visible from almost every room in the house.  But not even in indirect sunlight - in Arizona the sun is so strong it would quickly fade the fabrics.

Again, many thanks.
