I got brave and tried to do something with triangles rather than squares and rectangles. It appears that I need to get more precise with my measuring and accurate scant 1/4 seams and with pressing the right way. The light colored one was first and is the most "off", so I am forced to keep it for me. Second one is a gift for my daughter. Forgive that I got overly anxious to post and have not bound them yet.

Very pretty.... Love the colors

nice job!

They are both very pretty but that second one really caught my eye.

Very pretty, love the fall colors.

They are both beautiful. :)

I have not ventured into the world of triangles yet, but I just got some gorgeous symmetrical repeating patterns and a book that teaches how to cut the pattern into triangles to make snowflakes and a template too...sooo, I'll be going there sooner or later. lol

Beautiful fabric and a good job, and I'm sure that the more you practice the better you'll be at triangles.

Very nice!

Do you mind telling us the name of the book? I think I'd like to get one of them... I like the effect of triangles now that I have gotten started on them. Thanks.

Very pretty! I think you did a great job on both!

Very nice - they are lovely fabrics too.

Great job on both. I love the second one because it reminds me of pumpkin ice cream! I LOVE pumpkin ice cream.

Nice work...that 2nd one is gorgeous...the plaid works so well in there. I like the first one too but the colors are so pretty in that 2nd one. Name of pattern??

SharonAnne you did a great job. Have you looked at Rhondas tut on easy HST's? Before I started doing it her way I was having a lot of trouble now I can sit make them all day.

These are really pretty and a great start. I'm just now working on a project with triangles so I know the feeling. Holding my breath a lot...like that's gonna help things line up perfectly.

Very nice!

AWESOME JOB!!!! I don't see anything wrong with them at all!

:)

Very pretty, I love your fabrics and your triangles look great.

Thanks. I just checked this out. How easy is THAT? I'll give that a try the next time I venture into triangles. Loved it. Happy Thursday with much appreciation for your tip.

Those are gorgeous!..........and you have just inspired me to make something similar - I got some of that fabric from my wonderful fall fat quarter swap partner ! Thank you!!!

I think they look perfectly wonderful! Love the fabrics! They are beautiful!

It's not out of a book.. My LQS had a small pattern card laminated for sale (less than the size of a postcard). Decided nothing ventured, nothing gained and this was not a huge investment like a $25 book that I MIGHT use 2 patterns from - lol. I'd be happy to get another and mail it to you. No charge - pay it forward as it is my turn to do that for someone. Please PM me, if you are interested. I have to go to LQS today for secret swap anyway, so it is no trouble.

they are so pretty... :D

I agree with cjomamma, Ronda tutorial are great and very easy to do.

I never work with triangles per se if I can help it. Usually sew squares together then cut. Saves stretched sides.
I'm sure your daughter would love either. Both are very pretty.

You are very welcome. I think Rhonda's way of doing things makes the quilting life much easier.

Very good job. Love the fall colors.

Good Job

I think your squares are beautiful and I love the fabric choices. Terrific!!

Sharon, I can't see anything wrong with the first one! They are both beautiful and you did a fab job working with plaids!
They scare me hahaha

Love the second one, it is georgous.

Cjomomma,what did you ever do with the brown and pink batik fabric from Walmart? Just curious. Anne

Beautiful. I really like the second one. The colors are very vibrant, love them!

For a first attempt... you have great points and that's what its all about. Great job.

Both are very pretty!! Practice makes nearly perfect! 8-)

Love them both.

well done

I think you did a great job on both of them.

I haven't been able to touch the quilt I needed it for. While I was waiting for the fabric I started another project so as soon as I am done I will get back to work on mine.

great job on both love love love the colors on the 2nd one
