This traditional quilt is all creating impact by repeating blocks, as well as about the colors, and fabric combinations. Most fabrics were pulled from stash, others have only just arrived and were yet to find their way into the stash; some of the fabrics are older prints and some are recent releases. Working from stash is very satisfying and I love pulling out the many fabric "favorites"; working out what does and what doesn't go together, although generally I find that most of my stash plays nicely together.

I have quilted this quilt by first ditch stitching all horizontal and vertical seam lines, and then additional vertical lines were added for texture; simple and functional rather than decorative quilting, and at the same time giving the quilt a lovely texture and a soft drape.
The quilt was finished with my usual backing fabric and binding treatment: the backing fabric is Newsprint from the Story collection by Carrie Bloomston and the binding fabric is a narrow black/white stripe by Timeless Treasures (available from Fabric Bubb).
This quilt is listed for sale in my Etsy Store.

I am so pleased with this finished quilt and I have loved making it. I adore the simplicity of the design and the combination of fabrics. I especially love the inclusion of the beautiful Liberty of London Tana Lawn floral fabrics that blend so perfectly with the very modern fabrics that were also used to make this quilt. I foresee more Half Square Triangle Quilt in my future!
