Mai és tard... per ensenyar-vos un nou quilt!

Sembla mentida com passen els mesos... i ja en fa uns quants que no actualitzava el blog! En la meva defensa he de dir que han estat uns mesos complicats (de feina, obres, mudances...) i amb poques estones per a cosir i poca inspiració per a iniciar nous projectes. Però sembla que al final veig la llum! Si em seguiu a Instagram (@aikamaku) veure que alguna cosa he anat fent. De qualsevol manera, ja tornem a estar per aquí! :)

Avui us vull ensenyar la darrera manta que he fet! La història comença quan s’acostava el novè aniversari del meu cosí petit. Em va demanar que li fes una manta de patchwork com la que li havia fet al seu germà feia temps. Com que jo sabia que no em donaria temps, li vaig dir que per als 10 anys li faria. Doncs ve... el mes passat ja en va fer 11 i vaig decidir que no podia desil·lusionar-lo un any més! Vam anar a Tejidos Pulido tots dos i ell es va escollir les teles que li agradaven. Quan li vaig preguntar si tenia algun disseny preferit, em va dir que la volia de triangles. TRIANGLES! Un nou repte per a mi, ja que a part dels Half square triangles, no havia fet mai una manta amb triangles. Vaig buscar uns quants tutorials per internet, i un cop li vaig agafar el truc, la veritat és que no ha estat tant complicat! Espero que us agradi el resultat!

It's a little bit scary how time runs so fast... and it’s been some months without updating the blog! Well, in my defense, lasts months have been a little complicated (tones of work, building a new home, moving...) and in consequence, my time for sewing and even my inspiration to create and start new projects have been and drastically reduced. However it seems that we can finally see the light! If you follow me on Instagram (@aikamaku) you’ll see what’ I’ve been doing. Anyway, I’m happy to be back! :)

Today I want to show the last quilt I made! The story begins when the ninth birthday of my little cousin was approaching. He asked me to make a quilt like the one I didfor his brother. However, I knew I wouldn’t have time to made it, so I promised him that he would have his quilt for his 10 anniversary. Well... he turned 11 last month and I decided I could not disappoint him once again! So I took him to my quilt shop Tejidos Pulido and he chose the fabrics he liked. When I asked him if he wanted any special design for the quilt he told me he love triangles. TRIANGLES! A new challenge for me, cause apart of half square triangles, I’ve never piece triangles together. I looked for some tutorials online, and once I get the trick, it wasn’t too complicated to put the rows together! I hope you like the result!

Estic preparant un altre post on us explicaré els trucs que he fet servir per quadrar els triangles. Prometo publicar-lo aquesta setmana, així que estigueu alerta! :D

I am writing another post where I explain the tricks and tips to piece the triangles together. I promise to post it this week, so stay alert! :D
