I’ve entered a new phase—most of my friends are starting to have babies (and if they’re not having babies, they’re talking about it). This means that the baby blanket frenzy is about to begin! I’ve made several in the past, you’ve probably seen the Pink Lemonade Chevron blanket for sweet Eliana. And if you follow my Instagram it’s possible you’ve seen others as well. I imagine this space will begin to see more and more—which is exciting because I love making them!
After this project, I think I will have my fill of triangle practice! I’ve made big and small triangles, and it’s really exciting when it comes time to just do squares again.
The first design I drew up involved small triangles—but it was going to take me forever to make, so I decided to go with big and bold chevrons. I wanted to use several different patterns for the yellow, grey, and pink with a solid white chevron.
It’s fun to see how some of the same techniques that I’ve used before can still make something very different and fun.
Now, when I’m trying out something new, I don’t like to practice on big quilts. In big quilts there is a certain level of commitment, and if I decide that triangles are the worst in the middle of the project then I’m stuck working on something I hate until it’s done.
