Another scrappy detour! I credit Wanda, who blogs at Exuberant Color, for my recent infatuation with batik HSTs.
After I made Batik Jewels in June I still had a stack of 3.5" HSTs. A quilter posted a photo of this block design to the Scrap Quilt Enthusiasts FB group and I prudently saved the picture. (Hers was fall-colored homespuns.)
The sashing pieces were cut 2.5 x 6.5.
This flimsy is 68 x 72 and used 5-1/2 yards.
I *must* get going on the AAUW holiday quilt. It needs to be done mid-October so I can sell tickets at the fall workshop. We'll be on vacation for two weeks in September so that reduces my sewing time. Every year I know I'll make a holiday quilt and nearly every year I have a heck of a time deciding what to make. This is "Tree Farm" by Oda May for Moda. You can get the pattern here. I made one block last evening.

ReplyDeleteDon't you love how a simple block like HST can create a dynamic design. This is one I want to remember!

I don't think I'll ever get tired of working with triangles.
ReplyDeleteI love both of those pieces! Just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove your new batik project, very colorful. The Christmas Trees are going to make for a very festive holiday project. Good luck on getting it finished in time.
ReplyDeleteThat twist design is so simple but looks complex, a fascinating top. The tree is cute and I'm sure you will get your tree quilt done in time. Have a good vacation.
