This is just gorgeous. <br />Stunningly so!<br />Can I ask... is there a "trick" to piecing this many HSTs? I am a relatively new quilter, and there are so many tricks i know i am missing out on! LOL! I think i would go absolutely nutty cutting and piecing this many triangles! Can you strip piece and mass cut? Or are you literally cutting little bitty squares, lining them all up and chain piecing bazillions of these?<br />I absolutely LOVE the look!! But the few quilts i have done with hst's - i am about fed up with them by the time i finish the quilt!

Look forward to seeing your alternating blocks and what more you can do with this. Wonderful interpretation of a traditional pattern. thank you for sharing.Rosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03229945287598432571noreply@blogger.com
