Trade winds in the pink.
but its the worst quilt I've made.its about my 5th quilt . the blocks came out crooked and mis-sizedand my points don't match. i started out on curves and my blocks came out
nice and even and my points match..maybe someone else
has tried this pattern and can tell me if it worked for them.
Trade Winds for Bali Pops. First time I used jelly rolls and of course I failed to pick a contrasty enough fabric for the triangle.

I love the look of it. I know I have heard that once it is quilted you won't see any of those imperfections. I never believed it but I found it to be true. Give yourself a high five. It looks great!!!

The images won't open for me, but I just did two blocks of that pattern. The problem is that those long sides are on the bias. If you try it again, starch the fabrics and press very carefully after any stitching or cutting - do not slide the iron. I'm betting your quilt looks good. The motion in that pattern will hide any imperfections. I haven't made many quilts, either, so all these things are new to me, too.
