Here is a result from my recent half square triangle addiction. The original plan was to put together four units like this into one quilt. After I got one unit done, I decided I had had enough. added a border and voila! The size is about 13 inches square; each hst is 1 inch finished.
I changed the quilt hanging on the wall of the quilt lab to little gem. It is PA crib quilt dated 1903 in the center square.
The name and date are done in quilting stitches, but the pencil marks are what stand out. It says J. E ? y, 1903.
Maybe you prefer this angle.
So many ways to put together light and dark.
I changed the quilt hanging on the wall of the quilt lab to little gem. It is PA crib quilt dated 1903 in the center square.
The back is flannel, quilted with grey thread. This size is 35 inches square.
Oh my gosh, now that is as quilt!!! The first one pictured is beautiful. I love the colors. Really beautiful work!!! But all your work is just excellent Ann.

What a wonderful 1903 baby quilt-with signature-what a prize. Love all the classic PA fabrics!
ReplyDeleteI like your use of HSTs, and agree with your finishing decision. It looks great. And I would love for some fabric company to reproduce the border of the baby quilt. It reminds me of black-eyed peas. Snuggling in a quilt with that fabric may provide New Year's luck for those in my family that don't like eating the peas.
ReplyDeleteI am glad I am not the only one who regularly chnages a plan once it gets going. i think you have a great quilt there.
ReplyDeleteYour latest HST is wonderful! Love the collection of fabrics. The treasure in The Quilt Lab is amazing. Lucky us - thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteSweeties!
ReplyDeleteI love your little quilts, the browns and blues are great together. I really like the reds, pinks and yellow together, too!
ReplyDeleteI love both of them. The crib quilt is delightful and how great that it's dated.
ReplyDeleteHey! I see another way I can use all those little half-squares! I love the first two pictures! (The others are nice too!) ---"Love"
ReplyDeleteYou are stuck on HSTs? Me, too. It continually astonishes me how many patterns you can create with them! Love that little gem!

Nice quilts - both of them. Good thing that marking method still showed....one could miss that 1903 date!
