Raspberry and Lime HSTs

I sent my Raspberry and Lime blocks to Nifty a long time ago, but I have neglected to blog them.  I wish I could say I had forgotten, but really, I have just not had the time!  These were so fun to make, and I think they are going to make an awesome quilt!

 Here is a close up of one of the blocks.  I put in one little green triangle of what little bit of this silk/cotton blend I have that was hand dyed by a friend.  I thought it would add a little oomph for her.

Also, I knew this one fabric was a little "off" in terms of color, but it looks more "off" in the photos.  At first, I was worried about it.  But in the end, I decided I really liked that little punch of a different red in there.  I hope you liked them, Nifty!  Can't wait to see your finished quilt!  I might have to do one of these myself.  This was addicting to me.

Lime Green HST

Here are your HSTs LeeAnn!  They were certainly fun to make.  Great colors!

I tried making them a little wonky like you said we could.  (Don't worry, it does lay straight regardless of how it appears in the photo!)  I agree with Tara...it was a little odd to not trim down.  I think the wonkiness will show up more when this is sewn to other strips and some of those points disappear into seam allowance.  Hope it gives some fun variety!

Enjoy!

HSTs for Nifty

Hello Everyone,

Yesterday, I plowed through my scraps to make some HSTs for Nifty!

I must say I am really loving them and am reconsidering sending them... well okay... I will send this bunch.  But I may have to make my own.

I made 12 in this strip.

This is a close up of six.  I used my tutorial on HSTs, you can find it here.  Also, if you go to my blog, you can see the post that I did too.

I hope you like them Nifty, they will be on their way to you on Monday!

Until Next Time...
