This week's challenge was to incorporate triangles. I started by browsing the half-square triangle quilts on pinterest. I loved this pin, and wanted to make something similar as a sort of table runner/decoration for the area where we prepare our tea and coffee in the morning (no, all day). I am so thrilled with how it came out (other than the binding -- I wish I had chosen a different color. Oh well, not redoing it!). I love the two-tone background creating secondary arrows. I love that these are not all colors I would have typically chosen, but they work fantastically with the space where it will live. It's thanks to Pink Castle Fabric's color inspiration club that I even had these to begin with. I think it will add a little brightness to those early morning routines. Because of the triangles and its location in our home, I have named it "Orientation Station". The finished size is 64"x 13". I create in Broomfield, CO.
Because no photo shoot is complete without some posing. Who wouldn't have tea with these cuties! |
Aren't these teas so pretty?! I found them on sale at Whole Foods, so I snatched up a bunch. As well as being pretty, they are also quite tasty. |
The voting post will be here after noon Sunday if you're interested! Thanks for reading! :)
This is so cute, and your colors are wonderful! Great job, and excellent that we get to see it in its native habitat too. :)
