Festival of Half Square Triangles

I've decided to enter Urban Stars into the Festival of Half Square Triangles. Nothing like leaving something to the last minute.


I originally posted about finishing this quilt (here) in December 2011. I used my Baby Go Cutter for the very first time, to make the HST's for this quilt. They were a breeze to cut and sew. It's all HST's except for the sashing and has a few more HST's on the back.

Lots of Hometown by Sweetwater was included, plus various co-ordinating fabrics from my stash. I'm so very pleased with this quilt, and it's perfect in my living area.

Unfortunately it hasn't been used yet as the weather has been too hot and humid here to snuggle under quilts, but it's been a lovely piece of eye candy draped over my sofa. We are heading towards winter now so I'll be using it as much as possible during the cooler months.

The back very crinkly straight out of the tumble drier.

I also love the backing. I used some of the left over HST's to piece a couple of strips and then added Lecien Basics Dots. The binding is Hometown City Streets in Mist. The machine quilting is organic straight lines, and the finished quilt is 53" x 53".





I'm sorry but for some reason Blogger is not letting me link within the pretty Linky button so if you click on the link below

here it will take you to  Canoe Ridge Creations page where you can check out all the other fabulous HST designs that have been entered into the festival. Thank you so much Megan for hosting a great party!
