Abby’s Improv Triangle Quilt

Hello there,

Have I got a treat for you!! My friend Abby from @orangepeelsews is a master at achieving a modern look, with lovely texture, and beautiful fabric combinations…please check out this beauty. I want to create quilts like she does when I grow up. Seriously, she’s so talented. I’m so grateful I get to quilt for her.

Yes, this quilt is improv. She decided on how big she wanted the flying geese to be, and then she just made it up as she went. There is no pattern. If you’re interested, use it as inspiration and create some improv yourself. Maybe I should, too!

I used 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline Textiles out of Ogden Utah, and a cream Omni thread from Superior Threads to quilt it.

One thing Abby LOVES is straight lines. I used my Lined 1/2” design to quilt this one. I have four different Lined designs with different spacing between the lines. 1”, 3/4”, 1/2”, and 1/4”. All are available in my shop, or you could get the bundle of all four. They stitch back and forth. Please read the description on each design’s page for tips on quilting back and forth. My biggest tip is turning the needle a hair more to the right than you normally have it. It really minimizes thread breaks.

Remember when I was talking about mixing fabrics and textures? Look at these beautiful background fabrics.

It’s simple, classy, modern, and super cool! The touch of yellow is so fun.

Do you make modern quilts? Do you have one you’d like for me to quilt? I would love to. Email me at quiltingit@gmail.com or contact me. I look forward to working with you!

Thanks for stopping by!! Happy sewing! - leisha
