Orange Squares in the HST Quilt

I decided to fill in the gaps with squares of orange and grey - more orange than grey. I then subsituted a few more orange HSTs in the place of some teal ones. I quite like it.


I had forgotten about all the seams that need to meet when you sew Half Square Triangles. Lots of pinning and lots of ironing.

    1. Thanks! I can't take any credit for the combo. It was a fat quarter bundle ... probably from Fabricworm.

    1. Yeah, I had forgotten about that part. It's probably been over a year since I made the last (my first) HST quilt.
