Triangle Scraps Quilt Finished in Style

Marsha came for a visit, and Jane showed off her two quilts.  The smaller one is a whole cloth quilt that she used to practice on so she could prepare for quilting the scrap triangles quilt.  Jane demonstrated how to make the scrap triangles quilt, last January.  She used some magenta and some pink thread to do the quilting. She used her darning foot and her walking foot to quilt it.

Here is Jane with her test quilting project.  I really like the different colors of threads she used on it, but it was a test to see which she liked and to see how she would do stippling on her sewing machine.
Jane and her scrap triangle quilt.  She only used two colors of thread on this one.  She used her walking foot to make the random zig-zag quilting around the outer border.  Click on the photo to see it enlarged.
This photo shows some details, especially of the quilting.  Jane has been expanding her walking foot skills and has offered to quilt Marsha's next quilt.  Marsha and Astrid have been working on projects that have four-patch blocks in them.  See Astrid's recent quilt in the post, below, at the end of November.  Meanwhile,

Jane helped Marsha hold up Marsha's four-patch quilt top.  It certainly turned out lovely, for something with mostly brown, green, and blue blocks.  A nice surprise!  I think the inner and outer borders really help pull the central part together.  Hopefully, Jane can get it quilted by the end of the year!
