Good Morning, Quilters!
We are continuing our Spring Quilt-a-Long with our fourth way to quilt Half Square Triangles.
Half Square Triangles (HSTs) are one of the most frequently used quilt blocks. By following along with this quilt-a-long, you will have four choices for quilting YOUR HSTs!
Last week we stitched HST Flowers--(And I’m happy to report that this motif went “viral” on Facebook!–Thank you to all of you who “Liked or Shared it on Facebook!)
Today’s motif, Half Square Triangle Suns–is similar, but a nice substitute if you are stitching a boy’s quilt and don’t want flowers, or if you are stitching a nautical or patriotic quilt…The “Sun” is also a “Star”.
Begin stitching in the corner of the light-colored fabric. Stitch along the edge several stitches.
Curve down to the left.
Echo stitch back to the right.
Echo stitch back to the left.
Add a narrow triangle.
Stitch a wide triangle.
Finish with a narrow triangle.
Stitch along the seamline to begin the next motif in the row.
You’ve got sunshine on a cloudy day!
May all your days (and quilts) be sunny!
Happy Stitching!
