TBT: The one with traingles

Happy Throw Back Thursday my quilty peeps! This month I am looking back at triangles. Ah triangles, how I love the.


According to my Quilt Book - yes that's right people, I had a hand written, glued pictures and fabric swatches handmade blog, in a three ring binder. Old School. Anyway - the books says this quilt was made in 2000. So it has been my bestie for 15 years.


On a daily basis my Thousand Pyramids lives here, in the living room, at the ready for couch snuggles. I did make a second triangle quilt a couple of years ago (Bliangles) which is not in this pic only because it is on the couch now ;)

I love the weight of blankets in bed and when I first started quilting I used the highest loft batting I could get my hands on. It cost the earth, was the ultimate B&^$! to quilt because it was so heavy, but it remains one of my top three quilts because it is cuddly perfection! This quilt has been my sleeping bag on every camping trip I have had in the last fifteen years.


I took my lovely out to the yard today for a few pics. Seems only right to give it the star treatment.


An old cast-iron sink may not seem like the star treatment, but I love this sink. Why is it in the sandbox in the yard? I don't ask questions about these things anymore...


Not a modern fabric in her, not one but TWO borders and the worst binding ever. But I still love it. 


Thanks for talking a walk down memory lane with me. I am linking up with Jenn over at A Quarter Inch From The Edge for her monthly series Throwback Thursday!

I'm on a sew-cation for the next few weeks,and I see a LOT of quilting in my future, so be prepared to be bored with posts!

See you soon

    It looks great. I'm hoping to finally get to my triangle quilt this month. When you find out about the sink, do share. LOL

    I remember this one when it was in progress! And on many camping trips. Makes me smile to see Puff posing in front of it. Those Triangle quilts stand the test of time... I could make a dozen of them and never get tired of it. And didn't all our quilts from that era have horrendous bindings?! Thanks for linking up and for the jaunt down Memory Lane!

    There should be a heinous binding contest. I can win it.

    Loved quilts are the best! Not only is your quilt beautiful, it just looks like it would be great for snuggling. Or sitting under on a snowy day while you are reading a book. Thanks for sharing.

    I like the skinny second border - not done that yet but it strikes me as fun to play with! I like that you have sink in the sand pit!

    I need to break down and make a triangle quilt sometime soon, I always love them when I see them! And your quilt stand is so pretty. My dad made me a ladder for mine, though it has quite a few empty slots for now. Lol. I'll have to remember that style if I run out of room. ;)

    I can almost feel the softness from your description. What a lovely way to camp! The colors are beautiful both from afar and close up. I like your quilt holder, too. Did you make it?

    Love the Triangle quilt. The colours and setting make me feel like wrapping that quilt around me and enjoying a good book :) Thanks for sharing.

    Pretty colors in your pyramid, it made for a great photo shoot! Especially the sink in the sandbox shot , made me laugh, I am sure the box is still there just for this purpose!
