Sunnyside Triangle Quilt by The Sassy Quilter, measures 50 x 64.

Were you wondering why you never got to see my finished triangles from the Triangle Quilt Along???

Well, it got a little crazy sorting through all the final entries that I got a little behind! I also got a new camera and am trying to figure out how to get decent pics….so easy on my trusty iphone.

This quilt finishes at 50″ x 64″. I just loved working with these fun prints in Sunnyside by Kate Spain for Moda. I used a layer cake to cut mine and then added some solids to fill in the gaps.

I quilted along each side of the diagonal seams in a 50wt, 100% cotton Aurifil thread. The color is a light gray that blended perfectly with all these different colors.

For the backing I used a print from the same line.

The back….

I used a Zig Zag stitch for my machine binding technique just to spice things up a bit! I think it is fitting for the triangles.

Actually, the stitch I used is a little more than just a zig zag, this is called an Elastic Stitch on your machine. It takes three stitches in each direction….a little prettier I think.

Keep the seam line in the center of the stitch and you are bound to catch your binding edge on the back of your quilt! This method can be a little more forgiving if you have a hard time keeping it in the ditch.

Here is the backside of the binding.

These labels are by ikaprint and can be designed in a ton of different styles! They really make it simple to get my quilts labeled, especially since I tend to forget that step…..I know, bad quilter!

These adorable labels can be purchased from ikaprint HERE!

ikaprint let me create my own online store with them so the labels are at a discounted price, yay! So click on the link above and have a look around.

  14. Great finish, I’ll be joining in with the better-late-than-never group!

  15. I have never tried the zig zag to finish the binding, must try after seeing your quilt.

  16. August 1st, eh? I just might be finally able to get mine done by then, Paula! lol I love the labels – mine are from Ikaprint, too – so easy to design with them. (And I really really love your zigzag binding stitch – I think I might just have to copy you ; )

  17. I’ve used my regular zigzag on bindings but never that one — thanks for the idea!

  18. Love how your final quilt turned out Paula! I pretty much adore that fabric line! :) I just wanted to let you know I featured your quilt over at the FWFS blog! Thanks for stopping by and linking up!

  21. I love triangle quilts…definitely on my To Do List. Yours turned out great and I like how you attached your binding…very neat.

  22. This is lovely. I’m glad you got a chance to get it finished. I still haven’t started on my next triangle top, but I have template now, which will make the next time around much more precise. :)

  23. Paula, your triangle quilt is awesome! I really, really like that stitch you used for your binding! Do you use your walking foot when doing that stitch?

  24. I love triangles and this quilt is fabulous! Love the colors very much!

  25. Fabulous quilt! And elastic stitch for the binding…brilliant. Just did my first machine bind and it was not so brilliant, so I really appreciate this idea. Thanks for sharing!
