I recently found a half finished quilt made of fabric squares folding in half to make a triange...batting is put in and then it is sewn on all three sides with a blanket stitch using what appears to be crochet thread. The triangles are then joined together to make a quilt with the same thread. No pattern was with this and I was hoping someone would have one. This was originally done by my mother-in-law who passed 21 years ago and I found it in my sisters attic after she passed this spring so it has become important for me to finish it. Any help would be really appreciated. I also am having trouble finding the crochet thread its thinner then size 3 and I cant find a match. I am going to try emailing or writing thread companies and see what I can come up with. All the fabric was stored in a bag with the half made quilt so I just am looking for the pattern and the thread.

Haven't seen anything like it but it sounds interesting. Maybe if you post a picture others will be able to help. (I'm picture challenged myself!)

It's a popcorn quilt. DH's grandmother made one for us in red and white. She just sewed the triangles shut then whip-stitched them together. So, the embroidered blanket stitch on yours is a little different. No pattern is needed. I don't think there are any standards. I would just try to match the thread you have as best you can. Is there any discernable pattern in the way the triangles are already stitched together? What/how many colors do you have?

Can you post a picture? It kind of sounds like the one where you sew two squares together leaving a small opening for turning right side out where the corners meet in the center? A square of batt is inserted into the hole and then the opening is stitched shut. The squares are then hand stitched together and it makes a reversible quilt that appears to be triangles?

I have tried to google and found nothing only this book http://www.etsy.com/listing/10523653...roject-pattern. Am I right is this what you are talking about.?

Popcorn quilt was all containers and boxes of popcorn or puff quilts.

Any chance of a picture I'm English and no idea what it looks like now.

Do the squares look like this? This is made from one square of fabric that fold in half, sew across the 2 short ends and then open the rectangle up, matching the center seams and sew part way in towards the center from each corner. The units are then stuffed with a square of quilt batt and the finished squares are hand stitched together.

google Lizbeth Threads. They have thread smaller than 3 in many colors. I can't remember what the website is, but I have purchased from them and it is good quality.
