This is our last project for 2024 and it has been so much fun once again being an ambassador for Island Batik!
Twilight Triangles Quilt
Rusty approves this beautiful quilt as you will see later when I try and get a photo of the quilt on the bed! This is perfect as a lap quilt for your favorite chair.
Twilight Dragonflies Quilt
In September, my Island Batik Ambassador quilt was this beautiful Twilight Dragonflies quilt made with the Twilight collection. Here is my blog post and link to my pattern.
Twilight Batik Fabric Leftovers
I decided to use my leftover Twilight batiks for my December Island Batik Ambassador project.
Twilight Triangles Quilt
I used the Lori Holt Tall Triangle Ruler but this type of quilt can be made with any triangle ruler. The hard thing with this type of a shape is matching the sides. I wasn’t perfect but once the quilt is made it looks great.
If you have an AccuQuilt GO cutter, the GO! Equilateral Triangle 4 1/2″ die is great to use because it is so easy to match the sides. I have this die and now I’m thinking I should use it.
What Size Of Quilt?
I decided to use all of my fabrics and that is how I decided how big the quilt would be. My quilt ended up being 54 x 64 which is a great lap size quilt. I also used Aurifil 50wt Sand thread for my piecing.
Notice the ends of the rows? You just square up the sides when finished, I actually waited until it was quilted.
2 Mistakes
I used my longarm to quilt it and used Hobbs batting. I made two mistakes!
First I didn’t put the bobbin in going the correct direction (it is the opposite of my 15-91 Singer) and second – I didn’t check the stitching on the back.
When I did the first turn I saw that there were eyelashes all over the back of the quilt which meant I had to use my seam ripper and remove all the stitching from about 8 inches of the quilt. Ugh!
Random Mix
I just randomly grabbed my triangles and the only thing I did was make sure I didn’t sew 2 of the same fabric together. When I worked on the rows I did the same thing.
Another View
The railing going downstairs is a perfect place to show off a quilt!
54″ x 64″
This is a size that looks nice folded at the end of your bed or is perfect for a lap quilt.
Rusty Approves
Rusty loves his dog ramp and if I walk into the bedroom….he’ll immediately get on the bed! He finally is using it when he gets off of the bed now which is great!

I love your Twilight Triangles quilt. It is beautiful!! And Rusty looks great. I love seeing Rusty included on some of your pictures.
Beautiful- I love the colors. I made a similar triangle quilt with some Tula Pink fabric. It was easier to do than I thought.
Hello Connie:
I must admit I love all your quilt patterns, esp. the ones that are easy to follow & take little time to make into quilts! I use your triangle blocks pattern whenever I need to make a quilt in a jiffy.
Thank you for sharing your inspiring quilt patterns with us!
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year 2025!
Best regards,
Margaret Burnett
Rusty has sure come a long way form the scared little guy! Quite the showman! And this triangle quilt looks wonderful for matching or scrappy! So many wonderful ideas from you always!
Love this, Connie! Beautiful! It is definitely Rusty-approved! He’s so stinkin’ cute lying on the bed with it!!
I love your Twilight Triangles quilt. Thanks for sharing so many wonderful patterns and ideas with us. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
Your quilt is lovely and the color combination is so warm and welcoming. Like Sandy above, I also have the same railing design. I had never thought to hang a quilt on my railing as it is in the dining area, but I might have to try it for the holidays. Thank you for bringing a bit of inspiration and friendship into my life everyday with your newsy letter. Have a great holiday and wonderful year ahead.
Hello!
Twilight Triangles turned out great, I love those colors. I feel your pain. I have a longarm and have spent many hours with my seam ripper picking out stitches. Five minutes of quilting equals hours of picking. Nice to see little Rusty enjoying his quilt. : )
Merry Christmas to you and Builder Bob!
Hi Connie….
Rusty looks like he is a very contented puppy dog:):) Has he put on a little weight???? His eyes look great….!!!
So happy you have him!!!……and he has you!!!
Merry Christmas!!!
I have really enjoyed looking at your batik projects. The Twilight Triangles Quilt is beautiful, and its Rusty approved. I smile every
time I see a picture of him. He is a very handsome boy!!
Guess what? Your wooden railing is exactly like mine! The builders must have ordered their railings from the same place. Love it! Sandy
You’ve given me incentive to make this triangle quilt. You did a nice job. Thank you!
Love all your projects. !I’d be hard put to choose one, they’re all the best ones.
Merry Christmas Connie and Happy new year !

It looks beautiful, Connie. The colors and fabrics are so pretty. Ripping out that many stitches is never fun. Ugh! Rusty seems ver pleased with it.
Oh course Rusty loves it, after all it is a quilt! Great job Connie.
That turned out beautiful! Nice job. I like the blue scattered throughout. Simple but elegant!
That quilt is a stunner Connie. With those strong rich colours, and the pattern choice, I think many a fellow would love to have this. Well done!
This Twilight Triangles quilt is so beautiful.
I would love to make it except I have not yet mastered free motion quilting.
Is there an alternative quilting type to use with this quilt?
Thanks for all you do to encourage your subscribers with great tutorials.
Happiness is seeing Rusty so captivated with all your lovely projects.
This quilt is just beautiful, Connie, especially with Rusty posing on it!
