Super Easy Free Motion Quilting Design – Triangle Starships

We’re quilting a super easy, super beginner free motion quilting design today called Triangle Starships. This design will be perfect for all the space nuts in your life eager to blast off to the next galaxy!

As for Triangle Starships, this design is a lot like our super easy Echo Shortcut quilting design. Both designs are echoing designs, but they break the rules! Watch the video to see how:

Difficulty Level – Beginner. This design is very easy and fast to stitch. Start with a smaller triangle and only echo 3-4 times so it doesn’t get out of hand. It can be hard to keep the triangle lines perfectly straight when they get really long.

Then again, a wiggly Triangle Starship could also be pretty interesting!

Design Family – Echoing. Technically this design is a bit of a cheat. Instead of travel stitching to create the space between your echoes, you simply pivot. This saves time and is much easier to stitch.

Directional Texture – All Directions. I love how the straight lines and sharp angles come together in this design! Typically straight line, graphic designs will recede on the surface of your quilt, but this design really wants to stand out and blast off.

Suggestions for Use – James is still over the moon about space travel, rocket ships, and aliens. When we go out to dinner, we’ve given up stopping him from telling everyone (and I do mean EVERYONE) he sees that he is an alien from another planet.

So really this design was created with him in mind! If you happen to have a space monkey in your family, consider piecing up a simple Space Travel quilt, and make sure to quilt Triangle Starships either in the blocks or use it to fill the sashing or borders. It’s such an easy, quick design it really can go anywhere!

Let’s go quilt,
