need ideas for half square triangles...
I went on a half square triangle binge and made about 200 of them and they are 1.5 in blocks in just two fabrics - a light and a dark. I'd love to hear any ideas for what to make with these! Thanks much!

Mix them with squares for a Split 9 Patch from the free pattern tab at Bonnie Hunter's www.quiltville.blogspot.ca

Love what you are doing Lori. I, too, have some HSTs to work with. They are 2 inch ones. I have about 300 of them, just from the quilt I'm making now. Have a bunch of others from different quilt tops. You know, those little corners you cut off..well, I can't stand to throw them away so I just make these little HSTs and tuck them away for later use. Yes, I have a sickness!

One method of making the Windblown block uses all half square triangles with two colors, this is the block I am working on. See block and instructions at link below.

The pattern I am using is called Windblown Shadows, from the book "The Thimbleberries Book of Quilts" by Lynette Jensen from 1998, but I am not doing the shadow effect of using a dark alternating block but rather constructing as shown in link.
Another pattern is called Spinning Flowers from Fons and Porter's Love of Quilting magazine (Nov./Dec. 2014).
