Half-square triangles have been on my mind of late. I've completed a top comprised of HST's and am ready to begin quilting the baby quilt. There's another set of HST waiting in the wings....they've been there for a few years and it's only recently that I've decided what to do with them: make a baby boy quilt! They are small and worrisome to work with. In fact, they are actually cast-offs from another quilt.This wedding quilt is the mother of all those little HST sitting in the basket. Navy, blue, gray and dark green are not very bright colors, so I just didn't know what to do. I don't want to add to the colors, so I just let them sit. No more! They are next on the list. That's all.
And so some quilts with either triangles or HST's (or both)
I really like the quilt ideas that use only a few HST's. I have a basket filled with HST's, but there's no rule saying I have to use them all in the same quilt. One of the reasons I've been putting off using them is that there are a lot of them.
Plus, for some reason when I put blocks together in strips, they tend to be warped. I'm certain that it has nothing to do with my speed sewing.
Just a couple of HST's in a row? Yeah, I could do that without a bad warp. Only a few rows? Yeah, doable. So, yeah, that's probably what I'm going with. Well, when I get there. I do have a quilt in que, waiting, for the long-arm.
