I first started working on the template for this quilt in March of last year and posted the final template a couple months later, complete with measurements. One year later, it's finally finished. I wanted to try something new with this quilt by including a flower block pattern in each of the four corners of the quilt, but soon realized that my skills were not up to that level. Unfortunately, I cut the fabric for the flower blocks before I came to that conclusion, so that cost me some time.
The abandonment of the flowers turned out to be a blessing in disguise. I still wanted something different in the quilt, so it wouldn't just be an image of Zelda. The image of the Triforce quickly came to mind. For those who don't know, the Triforce is the ultimate source of power in the Zelda series and serves as the balance that weighs the three forces: Power, Wisdom and Courage. After thinking about it, how could I not include it in Emilie's quilt?
Integrating triangles into the quilt posed it's own set of challenges, but I figured it out and I think it looks really nice. I also love the colors in this quilt, very bright and cheerful. Emilie is happy with her new quilt, too, and she has slept with it every night since I finished it for her.
