Triangles in Squares, AKA Hello, Baby Quilt

This next quilt sample, also completed for the Grand Forks Guild Bi-Annual Quilt Show, held August 30, 31, and September 1 of 2013, features the triangle in square blocks, as well as borders cut with the strip cutters.  I had only one meter of fabric to use for the star units, in the circus themed polka dot print in primary colours.

This quilt was made especially for a baby, but its unisex theme will grow with the child.  One single meter of the circus theme print, was all that I had, to work with.....  When I did the layout using EQ7, the quilt had one look to it.  When I did the trial layout, I discovered that I was one long triangle short of completing the quilt.  My actual layout changed due to that shortage.  There was no way I could go back and find another length of that fabric.  When it was cut, it was done.  All cuts were made using the Accuquilt Die Cutter, Studio model.

I will most likely quilt this quilt with quilting in the hoop.  Its a blend of quilting and embroidery done on an embroidery machine with multiple sized hoops.  I can foresee an embroidered frog right in the centre of this quilt.
