Late this week I finished my Retro Half Square Triangle Quilt and I am really pleased with how it turned out. This was a great fabric play project as well as some serious time at the machine, both of which I love doing.
I have quilted the quilt with my usual straight lines, outlining all seam lines as well as a single line diagonally across all all of the half square triangle units. For the back of the quilt I have used one of my favorite fabrics by Aneela Hoey - from the Posy collection.
It made me sad and happy at the same time to use so much of this print from stash but I think every quilt deserves a great quilt back, and this fabric was perfect for this quilt.
Binding fabric: Mama Said Sew : : The Bias in Black by Sweet Water for Moda.
This quilt is now listed in my Etsy Store.

I have also written a quilt pattern for this quilt.
The pattern is comprehensive - 26 pages - and suitable for beginners as well as more experienced sewers. The pattern includes step by step tutorials and many photos to ensure successful completion of the quilt. I have also written clear seam pressing instructions to ensure that all seams in this project "lock" together thereby taking any frustration out of sewing together the quilt top.
