Blue Triangles

This is another quilt in the same series of the folded triangle technique. It is small er than the yellow one but from memory I think it was the first attempt. All the blue fabrics were collected from friends and some selected quilt shops. There wasn't the Internet in those days and many fabrics I had to buy from small patchwork shop in Sydney or Melbourne. It was such a long process as you either phoned or sent a letter requesting "samples" of the blue colour range. Many shops were well organised and had small plastic bags full of solid colours they would post in the mail to you. I would play with these small swatches for hours and then ordered what was required by mail. How times have changed now.



This is a detail of the same quilt:
