The housewarming quilt

Ta daa!
Presenting my first finished item for 2014.  It's just a very simple pieced quilt top with equilateral triangles. I used a watermelon spot for the backing and a grey moda pinstripe for the binding which I machine stitched down (much quicker!!). I used a bamboo batting too which I never have before. It did shred a bit during quilting but it seemed warm enough. Time will tell I guess.


I love how it turned out- the quality isn't the same as my usual standard since I didn't properly baste due to limited space. Still, for a utility quilt it will be good enough. I also love the shape. Its narrow ish but long so it's good for wrapping up inside.
