HST Overload

I have certainly had my daily dose of sewing and Half Square Triangles this week.  This project was totally addictive and I have sat and sewn obsessively and compulsively until the quilt top was complete, way late into the evening (or perhaps I should say the early hours of the morning).
.

Made almost exclusively from my fabric scrap bin and and an attitude of "anything goes" each block is comprised of four Half Square Triangles.  I tried to not over think the block colors and fabric combinations, although I did loosely focus on light/dark prints for each block.

For those of you who enjoy the numbers:

The quilt top measures 51 inches x 69 inches

is made up of 72 blocks each pieced from 4 Half Square Triangles

blocks measure 6 1/2 inches

a total of 288 Half Square Triangle blocks

plus

24 setting triangles (top, bottom and both sides)

Piecing this quilt top this week was a mammoth task which I have thoroughly enjoyed!  However, as I finally look up and around me, I have come to the conclusion that working with my scrap bin causes huge amounts of mess; threads, teeny tiny scraps and dust bunnies galore.  It's time to down the rotary cutter and start some serious housekeeping. 

Thank you for visiting!
