I took fabric to the guild's yearly retreat to make ONE of these quilts. When I started to work on it I realized I had taken nothing to help in the making of the half square triangles. No EZ Angle Ruler, no Thangles, nothin'!
So I pulled out a my rotary ruler and pencil and commenced to marking. Needless to say, that was a major fail! Some HST ended up smaller than the others so I packed it away to work on at home.
At home, I realized that not only were the HST different sizes but that I had enough units to make 2 quilts.
To refresh your memory, here is the other quilt. Love this pattern. It can be found at the Moda Bake Shop as American Glory.
Those are super cute. Imagine white stars with an all dark background!
ReplyDeleteThere was a PLAN for you to make two different sizes of HSTs.... there was! Now you have two gorgeous quilts!
ReplyDelete:)
They are both neat quilts!!
ReplyDeleteLove~ I see this in my future!
ReplyDeleteGreat quilt Paula -- oops about the HSTs
ReplyDeleteOne time I had half a quilt sewn on my little travel Janome and then finished it with my big Janome at home -- similar issues - they may measure the same but sewing is another story - much variance between machines.
