This was an accident. I was playing around with some stripes of fabric tryting to make a scrappy quilt for DH. I took Rhonda's idea on HTS's and Omak's idea on jelly roll and combimed tthe two and wound up with this design. I didn't know there was any kind of a design until I was laying the blocks out and there it was. I got so excited that I made my whole family come look at it, now I have to show it to you all.
There is 2 different pic's. I have more blocks than this just so you know. Thank you for looking.

Lots of motion in the design.

Very masculine looking.

It looks really nice and I love the HST as cornerstones.

Thank You. Even tho my DH has seen it he doesn't know it if for him. I have to do most of my sewing while he is home because little man will bug him instead of me. I'm still in shock that I did this.

I think either a red (to match the stripe) or a dark blue sashing would be great. But I prefer the red..... :lol: :lol:
