Argyle in Pink

Created for Project Quilting 14.2 – Pink Tint challenge.

As I pondered inspiration for the Pink Tint challenge, I looked for something not too taxing. My brain seems to be on winter break lately. I remembered the Argyle Answer, created for Project Quilting 9.2 - Triangulaton Challenge.  Pretty easy and I really liked it.

So much so, in fact, that I made Illuminating Argyle for Project Quilting 12.1 – Illuminating + Ultimate Gray challenge.

I decided to change it up a bit for this one by making it smaller and the white diamonds half size. What was I thinking! My brain was forced to abandon its vacation and go to work. This took twice as long as it should have and I don't think it's different enough to justify the extra time. Live and learn.

Illuminated Argyle

 Created for the Project Quilting 12.1 – Illuminating + Ultimate Gray challenge.

Illuminating and Ultimate Gray.  So not my thing. That's only 2 colors and one of them is gray, which is not really a color at all! 

The next day as I passed through my living room, I saw the Argyle Answer hanging on the wall. Hmmmm. I made this one for the PQ9.2 Triangulation challenge.

This could work. So I went looking for grays.  In spite of them not being my thing, but I did have quite a few in my collection. Lots of equilateral triangles in gray and one row of illuminating yellows giving it some life.

Quilted with randomly spaced diagonal lines in various shades of yellows and grays.

The Argyle Answer

Created for Project Quilting 9.2 Triangulaton Challenge.  

I'm currently possessed by string quilts. I can't get enough of them. So I knew this needed to be one. This is the first time I have used an equilateral triangle as the basis of a string quilt design. 

I quilted uneven diagonal lines and when I was searching for a name, all I could think is that it looked like argyle, so The Argyle Answer it is.
