Measures 13x20," simply raw edge appliqued to a white quilt sandwich (I love those $4 flat sheets from walmart for projects like this, cheap & I have no prob with the poly/cotton blend, they wash up nicely). I've wanted to make a "ticker tape" quilt for a while, this is my version called "Ticker Triangled." (snicker, the things I think of while I sew...) I'm going to hang it vertically on the outside of the bathroom door to brighten up the panelled hallway.

The clips are a great idea.
As for the quilt....it has a lot more "white space" proportion than most quilt tops I've seen....and it really makes the colours in the triangles stand out so well! Very creative and beautiful.

Love how you overlapped the triangles and placed them randomly!!! Nice to know someone else saves their triangles :roll: as I can't throw out a perfectly good piece of material. I just may have to try this on a large quilt...never used sheets, but I'll give it a go with 2 sandwiched on my LA and I'll put the triangles on with my LA AND quilt it at the same time!!! Super idea!!! I can use all kinds of shapes........ :shock:
