I started this project with a charm pack and yardage of Kona Cotton Bone. In one night, I was able to transform the entire charm pack into Half Square Triangles (HST). But then it took a week to determine the layout and design. I was playing with diamonds, flying geese, inverted square — there was no end to the variations! Finally, I settled on this layout with a diamond center and an echoing pattern. Tomorrow I will share another project with HST.
With just one charm pack, I made a decent size baby quilt. I even ventured out of my comfort zone and used an echo quilt pattern. More to come later in the week with my exploration of using quilting designs beyond my go-to stippling. Also, I now have name tags for my quilts! I printed a set on fabric paper and appliqued them to the binding.
Very pretty! Can’t go wrong with that setting.
I love the versatility of HST’s – I’ve been doing a lot of pinwheels with them lately. Love this setting too – may have to give it a shot!
