This fabulous triangle quilt was brought in to Needle & Thread, the quilt store that is oh-so-handily just down the street from my house.
It just needed a few minor repairs, and Marlene, the store's proprietress, offers that service to customers.
Isn't it just wonderful? Great fabrics, and a simple, effective quilting design. Love it!
just the sort I love too, scrappy and geometric. I believe this pattern is called 'thousands of pyramids'
