Tucked away in a Sept. 1983 Country Living magazine was this little gem. I've had the page open for quite awhile and decided to venture on to a new project.
Carefully choosing from my box of 2-1/2" blue squares, I then cut 5" dark muslin squares into setting triangles.
It's important to sew the triangles on in the reverse method, as shown. Then trim evenly along the edge of the blue square chopping off triangle points.
Here's what's been done so far. I'll show the whole top in a few days when it's fully assembled.Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

Oh this is going to be soooo cool! I love it!
OMG! I love it! Perfect winter quilt!
I love it! I'm pretty disasterous without a pattern. No since of measurement...I love this. I want to start a new piece but I've got one on the quilting frame and two waiting in the wings. I'm determined....
I love this quilt...it is in the Decorating with quilts book that Country Living put out in the late 1980's..or is that Living with quilts? Anyway...love it! What size are you making it?
Aren't the simplest quilts always the best?! This one is great! And I's sorry to read about your bleeding hearts, but it sure makes a good title! LOL!
You are doing a fabulous job, can not wait to see the finished project! Have a Happy New Year!
I love a blue and white quilt. This one is so striking. I quilt like the way you have it set on the design was with the stripes running vertically.
Happy New Year!
I tend to shy away from triangles, your method looks interesting...
Hope you have a great New Year!
It's going to be so pretty.
Can I borrow the pattern?
I'm thinking Amish solids and black.That would be almost as stunning as the one you're pinning. I'm so glad you're feeling better.
Happy New Year!
This is a great design, I just love that.
