Quilt Along Supplies

This quilt along only requires a few supplies. First is the Triangle Gatherings quilt book. This book has 100 different layout ideas using just half square triangles. You will also need half square triangle papers in the size that you need based on the quilt block size you choose to do. On Lisa Bongean’s blog, you will find instructions for 4″, 6″, 8″ or 12″ blocks. I am making the 6″ block size.

I am also using the Flying Geese foundation papers from Fat Quarter Shop to make the surrounding flying geese. This is totally a personal choice. There are many ways to make flying geese and you can use whatever method you choose. I just find the accuracy of the papers to be so easy.

The fabrics I’m using are a Bella solid white and a Free Spirit bright colors fat quarter bundle that I had in my stash.

Twilight Stars Quilt Blocks 2 and 9

For week 7, the block numbers are 2 and 9. I had pretty good luck getting my points to line up. I redid a few seams to get them a little better but am leaving some if they are close enough to lined up. When the blocks are all assembled into the final quilt, the points that don’t line up perfectly will be less noticeable.

I love how colorful these blocks are. I rarely use just solids in a quilt project, so this is a change for me to see such a big impact made from just solid colors.
