Can you ever have too many half square triangles?

I don't think so!  Here is some progress on a little quilt I am working on.  It is being inspired by an antique quilt top fragment.  I am using hsts for the pinwheels, of course, but also for the flying geese.  Is it cheating?  I don't care!  It sure is easy.

 Another hst project on the left and leftovers on the right, which will be turned into a little quilt, too.

I listed a few items on etsy this morning, including two of my little quilts made from antique fabrics and a primitive rag doll that I purchased a few years ago.  She needs a new home.

  1. The answer is "NO." I love the little quilt you are reproducing! The fabrics are so cute! And as for flying geese, if it is cheating, so what!

  4. Well.......I'm wondering if I have too many HST's from all those circles from the church quilt! I'm tired of working with those tiny things! But your cute little quilt here have inspired me again; I really hadn't considered flying geese, but I'll check that out soon. I never considered being a scrappy quilter until just a short while back, but I'm beginning to like it --- a little bit more! *wink* ---"Love"

  6. No, I don't think you can have too many hst's either. BUT, I do think you can get really sick of making them.
