Simply Triangles Blog Tour


Thanks to everyone who participated in my blog tour.  I am so grateful to C&T Publishing and all the stops along the way. This is the last stop of the blog tour.  Here are some quilts made from Simply Triangles book.

What can be done with the "Shenandoah Star" quilt?


 Make a wall quilt from one of the hexagon.

Make two quilts and quilt them together, one on front and one on the back.  Half the amount of quilting.
 

A smaller version of "Pinwheel Spin".
 
Check this quilt out that
American School Girls Quilt  made by using the repeats of fabrics. The pattern is "Fall Stars" in Simply Triangles.

A blue rendition of "Simple Christmas Star" in Simply Triangles book.  An overlay is on half the star diamonds to give the quilt dimension.


 A zigzag stitch is used over embroidery thread to accent the star.


There is still time to post on some of the blogs for a chance to win "Simply Triangles" book.  Click on the stops below and see if you can still add a comment.
