For Joy's Table Scraps challenge: I made two pink potholders.
I also made some framed four-patch blocks. (5.5" unfinished)
Last year I made half-square triangles in each of the 10 monthly RSC colors. Because I used 5" squares to make the HSTs it was convenient to make two identical HSTs-- 4.5" unfinished. One pair of squares for each day of the month meant an average of 60 HSTs. Here is what happened to 270 of the 600.
The blocks are 12" and the quilt is 60 x 72.
Linking up with Scrap Happy Saturday and Table Scraps
I used up a few colorful prints for the back. I used the walking foot to quilt straight lines in a hanging diamonds pattern.
RSC February is yellow -- I love yellow and I'll enjoy working with it.
Congrats on finishing up that scrappy HST quilt for the RSC, Nann!! Thanks for participating in the TABLE SCRAPS Challenge on my blog. Your PINK pot holders are a great addition to the Link Party!

ReplyDeleteYour HST top looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteWait--600 HSTs? And your gorgeous quilt only used 270 of them? Wow! I can't wait to see what you do with the rest of them!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great use of half square triangles. Doing them in groups really makes the quilt work. I'm trying to think small for this year's RSC.
ReplyDeleteLove your HST quilt, great option for the RSC.
