Working Title: Triangles

Started: 2020 (design process), 2022 (sewing)
Completed: 22nd of January 2023
I am currently counting it complete even though it is a quilt top. I know that I will use it as a wall decoration on my wooden frame only due to the metallic fabric which looks good but for me does not make a “use me” quilt to cuddle under. I could of course also quilt it for the wall and maybe I decide to do that later. But for now, this is my decision ;)

Spikes & Diamonds — Early Release Information

Calculations via my Quilt Price Calculator are always for finished projects. This project remains in the “flimsy/quilt top” stage. I nonetheless used the tool to calculate the yardage used for said top. Factors are the size & pieces mentioned above, the presets for a queen quilt plus a higher FPP offcut.
