Russian Waves Quilt



Here's my finished quilt!  I love how it turned out with the black and solids (and one red polka dot fabric).  It's bold, but still cute I think.  The Russian nesting doll fabric is fun, and I picked the solids to match.


I pieced this in blocks with the black square in the middle and 12 triangles around it making up one big block.  Can you see the blocks?  If I did it again I would do it differently.  I would make a block with the black center and only four of the triangles (sort of like an economy block).  Then I would make a block with the four multicolored half-square-triangles.  Then alternate them to make the exact same design.  Can you see it?  Then the half-square-triangle points would have been easier to match up.   

Thanks for taking a look!
