I wanted to diverge from the traditional half square triangle with one solid and one print for my half square triangle class. Ara Jane came along to guild with her hst quilt and I was hooked. On my last trip to the island I stacked some bolts at Pink Chalk Fabrics. Most are Kona with one...Read More »

Half-Square Triangle Quilt Tutorial This quilt is made from 1,024 squares, all 2 1/2", resulting in a quilt that finishes around 64" square. Half of the "squares" in the quilt are half-square...
This post will consist of further "thought process" on what I will make while at quilt camp next week. I have mostly decided that I am going to focus on making half-square triangles and I have been gathering inspiration from Pinterest. Here are a few more quilts that have captured my fancy, so I have many options for how my HSTs will end up being used. A blog called Two Bees has this quilt showing up on a loop of quilt pictures. It looks like Two Bees is an online shop. Margaret's Hope Chest offer up a stunning yet simple HST quilt called Bermuda Blues. Yes, she definitely achieved the look of water! Isn't it a looker? I found the next picture on Pinterest, and tried to find the quilt on the website it was attributed to, but alas, I had no luck. The website is Philadelphia Modern Quilt Guild, and it is fun to see all they are doing, but this quilt must be from awhile back. Exuberant Color is a blog I have followed for quite awhile. I love that she uses so much KF fabric, and just like the title of her blog, the color is definitely exuberant! Here is an ST quilt from several years ago. She refers to it as her "happy quilt" - yes, indeed! Red Pepper Quilts offers up this beauty, and I may have posted it on the blog before - that's how much this one appeals to me. It originated at Red Pepper Quilts, and the pic is on Flickr. All of these are genuine possibilities for me. I guess I will make a decision at the time. Do you find as much inspiration from Pinterest as I do? I look at quilts a lot. Happy Quilting, Friends!
Pictures - My HST Designs - I have had requests to see my HST(Half Square Triangle) designs so I am posting the HSTs from my Sampler Quilt Along so you can see them all in one place instead of having to search through all the threads. If you need to see the layouts for any of them you can find them in the Sampler Quilt
I'm still playing with layout options for my HSTs. I decided to use a layout app for Instagram. It allows you to make simple collages of photos. For example, I put this up on my design wall and took a photo. Then I opened it in the app and placed it in a layout that…

Pictures - HST Sampler Top Done - Finished my HST sampler top. Thanks for so many great suggestions for the sashing. I went with white and a solid teal. There are 20 blocks, all different, all many with only HST. Will hopefully have the quilting done in the next few days. Plan to do a simple allover panto. Thanks for
I wanted to compile inspiring ways to layout HSTs. There is so much to choose from here on Flickr! So much talent!
Inspired by a quilt that my friend Mary shared with me from Pinterest, I decided to design an Ombré HST quilt mathematically. This was the result. I chose to use a gradient of eight different values, numbered 1-8 from lightest to darkest. I began by drawing a 7 by 9 rectangle in my graph notebook and ...continue reading →
