Blogger Quilt Festival: Chicopee Triangles

I absolutely love the Blogger's Quilt Festival, hosted by Amy's Creative Side. There are so many beautiful quilts and an overload of inspiration.

I know I've been a bad blogger lately, but I've been saving this one to share for the festival. So without further ado.... Chicopee Triangles!

I've made a couple of equilateral triangle quilts before (first and second), though not large triangles. But after I saw the quilts and tutorial at Fancy Tiger Craft's, I HAD to make this, and I just happened to have a fat quarter bundle of Chicopee sitting pretty on my shelf.

Because I was working with fat quarters rather than the 3/8 yards suggested in the tutorial, I downsized my triangles, and used my Hex'n'More Ruler to cut the largest triangles I could (about 8"), I included some Kona Bone, and then I pieced some of my scraps to make a few extra triangles. I love the visual interest the pieced and bone triangles add.

I quilted it with concentric circles (easier than it looks, I followed this tutorial from Blooming Poppies). I think it takes practice and going slow to get perfect circles, I was working a bit fast, some things got a little wibbly wobbly, after the quilt crinkled up, it's hardly noticable.
The back really shows off the quilting:
