Courtney’s Triangle Peaks Quilt

Hi Friends,
I hope your week is off to a great start!! I have a fun baby quilt to quickly share with you…Courtney’s Triangle Peaks Quilt. The pattern is by Emily Dennis from Quilty Love. And, I love the colors of fabrics she chose!

Even though there isn’t a ton of white on this quilt, I still used my favorite natural white thread from Superior Threads because it blends so well, and is not stark at all. Plus, if you’ve been around here for awhile you know that I prefer lighter threads on darker fabrics, than darker threads on lighter fabrics. I also used my favorite 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline Textiles out of Ogden Utah.

I sent Courtney a few options for quilting designs, and she chose my Southwest design!! Which I love!! It created some excellent angled texture to an already very angular quilt. Why and how does it work??? It’s all about the scale of the design. Not too big to compete, not too small that it doesn’t make sense, it’s just right.

Also, please refer to the images I provide to check out the suggested spacing between rows. I line the spacing between the rows of the design, to fit in line with the spacing in the design. Space done correctly adds to the overall look itself. Too much space shows, and makes the design look off.

You can see the spacing in this close up better.

The backing has minky, and so this one was extra cuddly.

Thanks for stopping by!! I hope you have a fabulous day. Happy quilting!! • Leisha
