Triangles

Random

I knew that I wanted to do a quilt with half square triangles.   I had all the fabric cut and was playing around with design one night.  Soren was working on something at his desk and I asked him which design he liked best.  He suggested that I do a random design.  Random sounds like it would be an easy but it really isn't.   So he designed a computer program that would make a top that was truly random.  We counted all of the triangles that we had of each color, and input the data.  out popped a design that look like w/w s\f for each block.   (what is funny about this design is that the first three blocks on the pattern were exactly the same)  but it was technically random.  

 I wanted it to be queen sized for our quilt so I added borders later.   I put this one off for a long time.  I think it was overwhelming to work on such a large quilt.  I started it when we lived in telford in late 2013/early 2014 and it didn't get finished until the end of 2015.  I am really happy with the way that it turned out.  I machine quilted it but I only did straight lines over the top and stippling around the border.   The quilt doesn't go with anything else in our bedroom as far as color or design but it makes me happy.  And it is nice and warm at night.
