Half Rectangle Triangles.
Posted on | March 20, 2026 | No Comments
I have worked often with half square triangles, but have only rarely played with rectangles.
When I received this fabric bundle, I thought it was a good chance to see what I could do with the half rectangle triangles. The fabric is called Bloom Wildly by Clothworks and came as 30cm strips.
It took a little bit of juggling and some sketchy diagrams to work out how to use the colours in diagonal stripes. There were several colours from the range that were not included as they were very pale. They will find a home in another quilt one day.
This one ending up at 54 by 65 inches.
I had to find a different range for the outer borders as I did not have any yardage of this range. A dark blue with a spot was used for the inner border and the binding, and a green for the outer border. The green was also the backing.
I used straight line quilting following the lines of the triangles, but added some meandering in the borders.
It is very pleasing to be back into the swing of completing some quilts.
During the week I caught up with a group of friends at the NGV, (National Gallery of Victoria), to see the Rei Kawakubo and Vivienne Westwood exhibition. It was thoroughly enjoyable as it covered my age of fashion perfectly. I was able to recognise most of the displays. That doesn’t mean I wore them, though.
Here are a few of Vivienne Westwood’s designs that would not have been in my wardrobe, but look gorgeous.
This last one is the dress that is similar to the one worn in the Sex And The City film. A bit different to her earlier designs that were worn by the Sex Pistols!
The weekend beckons. Hope you have a good one planned.
Cheers, Karen
