ode to equilateral

 Yeeaaahh....
I found my favorite triangle.
What?
You don't have a favorite triangle?
Let me introduce you to my friend the Equilateral triangle.


Seriously, you've made things with the others.  
Probably Isosceles.  Maybe Scalene for you modern improv folks.
You've maybe had some trouble with the points?
You've maybe had to redo a few when things weren't lining up right?
Maybe not?
Maybe it's just me?


Can I tell you that equilateral triangles just line up.  
There is no 1/4 inch overlap to worry about!
I know it's math,
but to me, its like magic!


Here's the back.  Some cute DS Quilts, some Meadowsweet, and some Groovy Guitars.
This ruler made the triangles easy to cut.
I got mine at The Quilted Garden.


I made this quilt for a super sweet friend and co-worker who is having her first baby!
She chose the colors and I pulled from my stash.
I LOVE this quilt!  
I am normally one to just sew from one fabric  line, but choosing the fabrics for this quilt was a blast and I can not wait to try something like this again!


The colors are a bit saturated in the picture, the quilt isn't quite this intense, but you get the idea!
This is definitely one of my favorites!

Cute quilt! Looks like I need to look into equilateral triangles because I have a heck of a time getting points and could use some magic.

Those colors really do look great together and I love those near black triangles. I've never used an equilateral triangle in quilting before...hmmm, may have to start.

Mary Claire, this is AWESOME! Turned out great! I have yet to brave the triangles, but you can bet I'm startin' with equilateral!!!

(And, can I say that I LOVE that you used the word 'squalene?' Brainy vocab just makes me giggle).
