The Half Square Triangle-My BFF

I just finished up three little quilt tops, made from my best friend--the half square triangle.  Scrappy was the theme for these three little ones.  My finished HSTs are 1 inch finished size.

Number 1
the border is  a deep navy with gold motifs

Number 2

Number 3

Number 3 with it's antique doll quilt inspiration

Strips for next project.  No HSTs in this one.  I wonder what it will be...

  1. It's such a versatile little block and you have given each piece a different character. Will we see little 9 patches arriving in the fall?

  9. Ann, you know how much I love small doll quilts and these are just adorable! The colors you used are another favorite of mine! The yellow inner border and the half triangles is a perfect combination to set off these little cuties! Thank you for sharing, Carolyn

  12. Your samples of HST are great. I especially like furrows and broken dishes.
    the brown and pink doll quilt is adorable and really worth of making a new one.

  15. All of the hst quilts are so cute. I wonder if your strips are to make 9 patches - the start of your 9 patch log cabin you showed in your last post.

  16. I like the basket display on the wall. I have a basket that would work well that way.
