do. Good Stitches - April 2013
This month Linda tasked us with making half-square triangle blocks of contrasting values to make a quilt like one of these. The last time I worked with HSTs was my first ever quilt (in retrospect, probably not the best idea knowing what I know now about bias edges), so I was excited to try them again now that I know more about fabric and better piecing techniques.
So here are my blocks!
I must say, I'm quite please with my center points. I don't think my points have ever matched that well, except maybe when paper piecing.

ReplyDeleteciao Jess!
These are wonderful, Jess! And isn't it amazing to realize how much we learn over time by revisiting a technique after many moons? I look forward to seeing these guys in person and am glad that you were open to playing with HSTs again!
