Do you remember this stack of "discarded" half square triangle units from my Flock of Flying Geese II Quilt made earlier this month? Waste not, want not. Right?
So I made a quilt. I first spent some time trimming the above stack, with most Half Square Triangle (HST) units comfortably measuring 3 inches x 3 inches. There were however numerous HST units that were smaller and didn't make the 3 inch cut. Those units were trimmed to measure 2.5 inches x 2.5 inches.
I tried not to over think the layout and was immediately happy with the somewhat alternating rows of large and small half square triangles units as well as the color play.
Quilted with an overall 1 inch grid.
For the back of the quilt I have used a text print from the Love Notes collection by Echo Park (Andover Fabrics) - words to live and love by. For the quilt binding I have used a fabric from the very recently released Florence collection by Denyse Schmidt - it is called Four Dots in Carnelian.
I have listed this quilt in my Etsy Store.
All of the listing details here: Modern Patchwork Baby and Toddler Quilt
Not only are some of the fabrics used for this quilt reclaimed vintage linens but as discarded/leftover scraps they have once again been re-purposed and ready for a new adventure. Reclaim, recycle, re-use.
Thank you for stopping by,
Rita
