When Life brings you Lemons ...

... and you find yourself  having to spend way too much time away from the sewing machine and the fabric stash, you still have to try and make the most of every spare moment, and make "lemonade".


My "lemonade" of course is piecing Half Square Triangles.  It's been a while since my last HST quilt (almost 3 months!), and it is time to re-visit this easy and versatile block.  I haven't wasted a  spare minute, and now have a bunch of  HST blocks all from stash fabric in range of citrus colors (Lemons, Limes and Oranges) paired up with Kona Solid in White. 


My first glimpse at seeing how this quilt is going to look came this morning when the above picture was taken.  The blocks were quickly arranged and pictures were hastily snapped whilst competing with the usual windy day elements  (note:  patchwork blocks dispersed across the backyard does delight the dog if no-one else).


More blocks are needed, and hopefully more pictures soon.
