To 'pry' the glued portions open, I used my seam ripper. This glue is not like super glue so it comes apart pretty easily. I also did not have a problem with the glue gumming up my iron. And I use steam too :)
Ready to see my rows? :) I did 5.5" triangles, 22 triangles per row and 14 rows. I have left over triangles - but I have a secret plan for those for the back ;)
I only took 5 of the rows out. It was windy. . . and I thought they looked kind of cool blowing around :)
Ever have an AHA moment when you are sewing? Well I had one when I was ironing the seams open (I did this after every seam sewed).
So there you have it :) Can't wait to sew those rows together!! :)
Linking up with Paula over at Sassy Quilter for Week Three of the Triangle QAL. Head on over and see how all of the other participants are coming with their triangle quilts. There are going to be some amazing quilts made in this QAL!!
Also linking up with Sarah over at Confessions of a Fabric Addict for Can I get a WHOOP! WHOOP! and Fortworth Fabric for Fabric Friday Frenzy.
Until next time, keep on quilting!!
I love your colours! it looks like it's going together really easily. (I don't pin much either!) Linda
ReplyDeleteOh, your rows are looking great! Lovely colors indeed.
ReplyDeleteLove your solids! Your rows look great.
ReplyDeleteThose sweet triangle rows seem to be having a wonderful time hanging out in the sunshine! They look great!
ReplyDeleteOhhh, I love your gorgeous triangle rows!!!! Thanks for the glue tip. What a great idea! Looking forward to sewing triangles.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colors! And the spot on the pinned open seams where the three colors intersect is where I try to place my seam too. Works every time!!
ReplyDeleteI start sewing this weekend...so glad I read your post first....great tips!! THANK YOU!!!
ReplyDeleteI used your glue tip....it helped tons...esp because I'm not a pin person!
DeleteGet tips for triangle piecing, and I love the colors you chose!
ReplyDeletegorgeous colours, and I love to see your strips of fabric blowing in the sunshine!
ReplyDeleteLoving the colors!
ReplyDeleteThis is a revelation for me, thank you so much for sharing this tip!!!! I was pulling my hair out with the sweet spot issue...... argh! :D Pinning now.
ReplyDeleteYay! I love your colors. I hate pins too, but I *love* the clover wonder clips! I pressed to one side, but if I do another I will press open, even though it takes a little more finagling, I think it would be worth it in the end for this one. But where my points come together I have just pressed really hard and it seems to be ok. Hopefully I wont have any trouble when I start quilting.
ReplyDeleteThis is coming together beautifully. I like the idea of solids only.
ReplyDeleteWhat size quilt are you aiming for? I'm also doing 5.5" triangles (if you measure the perpendicular, but the sides are 6") I'd calculated I needed 501 triangles. I haven't finished cutting so if 432 are enough I'll stop sooner. I don't want to overshoot by 61!
I love those triangle rows, just dancing in the wind! Your quilt is going to be so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip! I love seeing all of these triangle quilts! Love your fabric choices, so fun and colorful!
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up to Fabric Frenzy Friday!

Oh I love your pretty pastel streamers. This will be lovely and very exact. I don't think I made that quality in my ripping frenzy but yours is going to be great. :)
ReplyDeleteI have never worked with triangles and wish i was able to participate in this QAL. Your quilt is going to be awesome! I love the pretty colors you have chosen!
