A February Quilt Finish.
Posted on | February 6, 2018 | 19 Comments
Finally a quilt finish. It has taken me until February but it is done. Good to be getting back to finishing quilts.
It is a very simple design made up of half square triangles.
The same colours are paired up to make a rectangular block. They can be put together to make any sized quilt. I think it would be lovely in a baby quilt. I followed a tutorial from MSQC.
The backing is a sweet bird design from Amy Bradley.
Here’s a closer look.
And then I found a stripe to use for the binding that had many of the colours found in the blocks.
I started off with straight line quilting to focus on the diamond shapes.
And then I added bubble quilting in every second horizontal row. Next, I bubble quilted all of the borders as well.
There are a couple more quilts sandwiched and waiting for quilting so it is good to have started up again.
And this one was an easy way to get motivated.
Have a great week.
Cheers, Karen

This looks good enough to eat! Very flavorful!
What a wonderful fresh quilt !
Triangles are my favorite, in any way :-)
At a distance it’s almost impossible to tell that you used HSTs. That, of course, adds to the interest when you show the up-close picture. Love your color combination, too.
What a beautiful quilt. I love the jewel like colours.
A lovely quilt, so fresh! I too love your ‘bubble’ quilting, was it easy to do?
There is something therapeutic about getting back into quilting after a break. This is great, and your quilting…perfection!
What a great quilt, Karen! It is just perfect in every way. Love the design, the fabrics and the quilting. Someone is going to love that one!
Karen, what a brilliant idea!!! Love how you paired up the HST! It has a kind of Mardi Gras diamond feeling to it. Great quilting, too!
So fun. I agree that it would be a great baby quilt!! And, what a good idea to only do the “bubble quilting” on every other row. It really makes the quilt pop!!
I love it Karen and so fresh and pretty…. and Ilove that way of putting the HST’s together…
What a cute backing…. funnily enough I just pulled out one of Amy Bradley’s designs thinking maybe I could do it… haha

So pretty, lovely colours with the white background. I love HST but have not put them together this way. Yet…… I should say, thanks for the idea.
