My Triangles End in Disaster!!!

You might ask how it all ends in Disaster if I have a incredibly cute quilt to show for my efforts.  Simple I got my quilt done and then I washed it.  Well that does not seem so bad how did it all crash and burn.

I took my quilt out side to take pictures on the back lawn (I cant believe it is green already)  I had a lot of fun and got some great pictures (more of them below) when all of a sudden I stop the above seam.  I hate when I do this.  I hate it even more when I don't notice it at a point that it could be easier to fix.  My guess looking at it I must have when sewing my 2 triangle rows together had a seam that caught just barely on the edge.  During the wash it fizzled out and wamo I have a hole in my quilt.

I have fixed bobo's in the past in various ways.  The most horrible of which is just a bunch of ugly zig zags to hold my hole together and better was applique something cute over the hole (if you cant see it I am sure its not there) but heck what would look good with all of my triangles?

Any way with the pouting of my mess out of the way I want to show off my wonderful messed up quilt.  The back looks totally amazing with the echo quilted triangles over my yellow minky back.

I toyed around with quilting the edges and keeping the triangles intact.  But in the end I chopped them off.  I leaned a lot from doing these triangles and will be making more of them.

Triangle Quilt Along and Joining Rows

It is time to sew all the rows together.  I am late linking up this week so this will be short and simple
