Southwest Quilt

I had to wait until after Christmas to post this because it was a gift for someone. I was asked to make a quilt for someone whose house is decorated in a Southwest style.  I looked online at several quilts that had that sort of theme, but I decided in the end to design one by myself, using what I had seen. This is the design I came up with. The photograph doesn't quite get the colors right - there is black, dark brown, and regular brown, as well as the tan and orange (and it is a burnt orange - not as bright as it looks here).  I am learning that doing triangles takes some mathematical skills and that guessing won't always cut it. So, the quilt isn't perfect. If I hadn't done this in Minky, it would have really been a disaster because things didn't quite line up the way they were supposed to. Fortunately, Minky is forgiving and flexible, so it worked out okay. I am not going to win any awards for it, but it is the first design I have come up with myself, and may be the most complicated one too, besides the batik quilt I did awhile back. It has been fun getting back into quilting and sewing lately.
