Question about bandana quilt
 
I'm new to quilting and have a lot to learn. I saw a quilt using bandanas cut as a triangle. I bought what I needed from one location. I cut 4 of them in a triangle (2 pink/2purple). As it turns out the bandanas are not the same size. There is a difference of an 1" to 1 1/2" in size. So my triangles are "wacky"!! Any suggestions as to how to make this work. I hate getting discouraged!! Thanks for help & happy quilting!!

I would cut the larger ones to size with the smaller ones making sure the outside edge of each is preserved and the cuts are on the other sides.

Make it 'wacky'....put a black /or / white / or / purple....slashing inbetween the triangles, evening out the triangles...who says it has to match...go with the wacky and make it an 'original' and unique.

I would also cut the larger ones down to match the smaller ones. If this makes the quilt smaller than you wanted, add a border or two in complementary colors to the outer edges of the quilt.
