This may be called "Thousand Pyramids" but 1000 is too many this time. All from my stash, except the backing. I practiced "ruler work" on this one and was marginally pleased with what I did. The end result is much better than I expected. These triangles/pyramids are using the triangle from Tri-Recs, a little more graceful than the 60 degree equilateral triangle. I called it "Prolific" because every time I turned around, another triangle was needed, and then those baby ones started showing up!
I was surprised with how easy this was and how many different ways the triangles could be set together, resulting in a myriad of variations. I grouped 4 light and 4 dark triangles in each unit, and always had the darks on the same side each time. I pressed seams open and again was pleased with the ease of sewing them, with reasonable care, as 2 sides were on bias.
DH was holding this up and sun was shining thru. It's all quilted and DONE.
Lots of straight lines, lots of practice with rulers! I reverted back to free-form quilting in the side triangles.
Backing - isn't it delightful? ... giraffes, with little blue baby giraffes.
I am a quilter - a retired widow living in the Nebraska Panhandle. I am surrounded by beautiful semi-arid ranch country, and treeless hills and fields under incredibly wide blue skies, located far from the upheaval found often in large towns or cities. I am blessed to have delicious time to quilt and to appreciate my peaceful moments in an unpeaceful world.
