What pattern are you planning to make with the HST ? ? ?

[Deborah W.]

Great quilt jojojo. You are way ahead of me as I haven't received my package yet.

[Dawn S.]

Jo Jo, your puppy quilt is darling!

I have already posted what I plan to do with my HSTs from the big exchange, and I am still exchanging as we speak!

But, I wanted to show you what I am doing with my Batik exchange HSTs. As I have said before, I cut the HSTs in half and then half again, so I am left with some rather small 1 1/4" HSTs. I did not trim them all to the same size as Annis did. Bad mistake! So, I am now sewing them together and have a lot of "tweeking" to do. The finished triangle is 3/4." (If I'm lucky!) I now a have a greater appreciation for those who make small quilts (without paperpiecing) as I do not think I have one straight seam in my quilt so far. But the points match! I'll have to do some creative quilting, I guess. I'll post a picture of the WIP next week.

Beautiful Dawn. I can't imagine sewing something so small.

[Deborah W.]

Dawn, I love what your doing with your batiks, it looks really great.

I did consider joining in with the 'mini' brigade for the hsts, but instead I'm working a cross stitch pattern up in 1/4" strips for my 'mini' piecing pattern - perhaps we need a thread for the mini piecing brigade :wink:

[Deborah W.]

I don't seem to be as sentimental as a lot of you. I'm using my HST - here and there. I have used some of the batik ones here after making some more myself.

Great quilt! Love the puppy....Doreen

DOREEN, did you get my email about international HSTs? (I wind up in a spam box now and then! :x )

Update: I just got your email!!

Dawn - Love the Teeny Tiny Triangle quilt!

[Patti P.]

Dawn, how are you keeping the seams and intersections lying flat? It's looking wonderful BTW

Right from the beginning I wanted to make the Tree of life Wall hanging, so I made up all the other blocks and just waited as patiently as I could :roll: for my HST's to come, after much oohing and aahing, fondling, stroking, pressing, bunny ear nipping i have finally started, everything else is on hold at least till I get the trees done, so here is a sneaky peek at the first 2, I am just loving them .

[Nan T.]

Great start Dorothy - Looking Good. can't wait to see it finished.

The trees look great, Dorothy! And I like the new profile photo!

[Margo C.]

Ok y'all - everyone's quilts are looking great!!! I'm pressing triangles today while at my quilt bee. Will be back in touch when something is accomplished other than that! :roll:

OH! So wonderful - very good placement of colours!

Patti, look really closely! They are not sewn yet! :shock: They are just arranged on my cutting table. But, now that I'm sewing it, I am pressing all seams open (but not the actual HST seam). There's a lot of rip and resew going on with this! I feel like a beginning quilter. It has really humbled me!

Talk about humbling! This was a winner in Houston last fall. (See other quilts on Sue Garman's blog: http://suegarman.blogspot.com)
If I remember correctly this quilt is about 15" x 15" :shock: :shock: :shock: and is part of a series by Kumiko Frydl.
