QUILTED TRIANGLES

A few years ago, I received this handmade quilt as a Christmas present from a good friend's mother.
Wanda, creator of the quilt, is pure Texan through and through and lives in Post Oak, TX.
Learning how to sew as a child, I had made 2 dresses from the "scraps" that make up this quilt.
I believe this is a pinwheel design. :-)
