No-Pattern Quilt – A Triangle Madness!

I get impatient cutting out pieces, measuring, and trying to figure out if I have enough fabric.

In this post, I’m going to explain my process to give you more confidence in making your own quilts without a pattern.

When you start out a no pattern quilt project it is usually good to set yourself some parameters. This is to stop you from overthinking.

I pulled out a mix of yellow pink and low volume/white fabrics to start off with.

Once I had done the initial cutting and piecing in pairs I made a slight change of direction, which is something you always have the option to do.

[{"selector":"#anim-1acadbee-5af4-4ddc-bcda-a5e96fa7c6f0","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-aa4d8942-a863-4ef3-9d7e-5d32a81e854c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6551b2be-7b6d-4b32-b2eb-1c4131f9e769","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-118.14814%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b9549442-41ac-4fa1-829a-c4fb44d13120","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more

In this case, the issue was how to add a backing fabric.I had a look through my stash of whites and off whites and decided to work with what I had.

[{"selector":"#anim-3e5b2334-6216-47c5-afe9-d288273d2f6a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-983c78dd-d758-4b1a-bac0-2596d197e93b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-06ac996c-698b-4a4e-8fe0-3bec5c05ccbb","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-120.24793%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bff0d73d-232c-436d-99f6-741c93f9ace7","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more

What I decided was to go with an off-white border on the top and bottom just to give the quilt that extra size.

No-Pattern Quilt – A Triangle Madness!

I get impatient cutting out pieces, measuring, and trying to figure out if I have enough fabric.

In this post, I’m going to explain my process to give you more confidence in making your own quilts without a pattern.

Tips Before You Start Making a Quilt without a Pattern

Keep these in mind before your get started:

When you start out a no pattern quilt project it is usually good to set yourself some parameters. This is to stop you from overthinking.

Set Boundaries

Making a Start

I started with the idea of trying out my AccuQuilt Isocolese Triangle Die which I’d never used before.

I pulled out a mix of yellow pink and low volume/white fabrics to start off with.

Once I had done the initial cutting and piecing in pairs I made a slight change of direction, which is something you always have the option to do.

Changing Direction

In this case, the issue was how to add a backing fabric.I had a look through my stash of whites and off whites and decided to work with what I had.

Problem Solving

What I decided was to go with an off-white border on the top and bottom just to give the quilt that extra size.
