One half square triangle (HST) can look totally different if flipped and paired with other blocks. Yesterday, I shared the HST baby quilt pictured below. Also shown is a table runner {still in need of some binding} using the same HST block.
Half Square Triangles flip flopped, inverted, reversed, and some added background fabric, you have the next quilt added to my long bucket list — Denyse Schmidt’s Ocean Waves. Here is a link to a full picture of the quilt for the pattern in her recent book, Modern Quilts: Traditional Inspiration. Last month, the Philly Modern Quilt Guid had a special event with Denyse Schmidt. It was a very inspiring night, where she shared her journey. She is truly an artist! I was lucky to see this quilt in person — and I was shocked the the size. Very very tiny squares, compiled into a small baby quilt. Once reading the directions in detail, I was surprised the steps are to cut the squares on the diagonal prior to sewing. It may be due to the small size; however, I will probably start with the HST route for now. Oh, and it may all look like dark blue/black solids at a first glance in her quilt — but she added some great prints and even some orangish prints that really add dimension and character to the quilt. This will be another goal of mine to add a hint of fun to the quilt! Either way, there will be another quilt added to my HST collection in the future.
