Last Chance Triangle Quilt Along Link Up

I've been sewing like crazy (after work) the last three days to complete my Triangle Quilt that I began with the Sassy Quilter.  Nothing like a deadline for motivation
I added the borders and loaded it on the Sunshine 16 quilting machine on Tuesday night, quilted it last night (big and little swirls).

Put the binding on tonight.  As I was sewing as fast as I could, I could see the sun getting lower and lower in the sky and I felt like I was racing the sunset because I wanted an outdoor photo.

And I won the race and was able to get this outdoor photo just as the sun did set.  I was thinking of calling it Tea Rose and Lilac Sunset, but then thought maybe it should be Racing Sunset...


I'm linking up with the Sassy Quilter for the Last Chance Link up!  Triangle Quilts are one of my favorite designs now and I'm sure there will be more in my future.  I'm so thankful to Paula for having the Triangle Quilt Along!  I actually made 4 quilts using her instructions.

Love the colours on this one - though there's a lot of pink and I don't normally gravitate to pink :) Your quilting on this is amazing! I think you should go with Racing Sunset... it's a great name and has a story behind it.
