I didn’t get Triumphant on the wall as early on Sunday as I would have liked. I was busy finishing the Sidewalk #2: Blue Strips so Triumphant would have some design wall space.
When I finally did get it on the wall, I found that I had miscounted the pieces I cut at Sew Day. I was short about a dozen units. Sigh.
The photo doesn’t show any of the side border pieces I cut on Saturday. You’ll have to trust me when I say it wasn’t enough.
I was actually glad to get it on the wall as I could see what I was working with. The main part of the quilt is just a giant 9 patch, so I sewed it together and then sewed the top and bottom borders on which I had finished a week or so ago.
Then I sat down and had to correlate the pieces I had with what I needed. Once I figured out what happened, the cutting went relatively quickly.
Now on to sewing.
Love how Triumphant is coming together—even with the hiccup in cutting, it’s really starting to take shape beautifully on the wall! Seeing quilts evolve like this always inspires me to match the vibe in my living space too. This color combo would look amazing as a throw pillow cover—perfect way to echo the quilt’s energy in a cozy corner!
