The Tri-Recs tool from EZ Quilt.I originally bought this tool to make this table runner.
It is from a kit that I bought here. The pattern is "Candy Corn Cotillion" by Willow Berry Lane. 
The Tri-Recs is used to make this block (I don't the name).
I have made a couple of variations of this pattern.
I have also made a couple of other quilts with the tools (I only have a picture of one of the quilts, the other is a similar variation).
Only the half triangle is used.
The blocks are made up of two halves and a reverse block is also used.
Today I tried making another pattern with the tool. I have seen similar "tumbler" or "thimble" quilts around and thought the tri tool would work.
I used 2½" strips of fabric. The tape helped me remember which lines I was using to cut.
I ended up with this.
I alternated the seams to reduce the bulk by using the little trick of unpicking a couple of stitches.
I added some applique. It will be a seat cover for a stool. There is lots of room to try out some new techniques in machine quilting.
This is my first practice piece since I bought Diane Gaudynski's book. It was lots of fun!!Today my DH made a chocolate desert from my friend Wendy's blog, and it was delicious. He said it was easy to make. Thanks Wendy!! ♥
Have a great day!! ♥
