I have been wanting to make a quilt like this for a while now and I've also been wanting to try making half square triangles using the first method in this tutorial (the one where you start with a square, sew all the way around the edges, and then cut it diagonally into 4 parts).
I made this quilt first as the test quilt for the solids quilt. I used Violet Craft's fabric - Madrona Road - which I got from my local Modern Quilt Guild - they were giving it away for a challenge project.
I also found this perfect backing fabric from JoAnn (surprisingly). I kind of love it - and I wish it came in every color!
The second quilt I made with a very specific color palette for a friend's baby. She said she wanted a grey quilt, and that she didn't really want pink or yellow with it. I dug through my solids and thought these might work. I LOVE how it turned out.
I especially love the backing fabric. One of my all time favorites.
they look fabulous! I love the versatility of HSTs!
ReplyDeletei love these. am working on HSTs now and wanted to make something very similar to this. did you piece them together on the diagonal? beautiful job!
