Scrappy Triangles Quilt

On my design wall....is a quilt for my Aunt Grier.  I wanted to make her a throw quilt for her solid colored couch to match the chairs in the room.  Below is the fabric on her chairs, I got a sample from Calico Corners.  I used the sample to match a color scheme.  She has no idea I have her chair fabric!  She will be surprised.  

Aunt Grier, Aunt Beth and myself

I have these pictures from Thanksgiving, see the chairs?

I just love this solid gray couch, I am hoping the quilt

will go on the couch. 

She lives on the water in Annapolis Maryland so my thoughts were to make her a Nautical quilt.  I came up with these scrappy triangles because I thought it I could make it look like sails.

I have added some rope like embellishments on top of some of the sails.  It is actually shoe laces! 

My backing: 

My threads - my plan is to do some embellishing with this thread and then to hand quilt it.  

Thanks to a tutorial from FITF: scrappy triangles - a nautical quilt.  She did a great job helping me come up with the idea.  Go here to see her tutorial!  

I still have more work to do, but thought I would show you my progress.  Have a great week everyone!
