HST quilts
 

I am very fond of HST patterns, including those that are oversized blocks. I have probably made a couple dozen of them, but most of my quilt pix went missing when I changed computers (neat birthday present). (Don't worry, I am certain they are still around, but DH helpfully transferred data for me while I was getting ready for our quilt show and all the pix went into a single file with no sub-folders. I have not sorted them out yet.) I made one 8 point star flimsy this morning. The scrappy friendship star is another I made since I got this computer.

I have taught a couple of classes in HST construction, including oversized HSTs. Many, if not all blocks work as oversized blocks for quick quilts. I particularly like using oversized blocks for larger scaled prints, both novelty prints and more traditional ones. One person in my most recent class decided to make king sized quilt of 4 wild goose chase blocks + borders. I'll try again with the first.

Great ideas thanks for sharing.

You are very welcome .

I love the scrappy friendship star. They all look great but I really am into scrappy quilts

I love HST. Nice work!!

I love them all!! Thank you for sharing. I, too, love that Friendship Star block!

I love to do large size HST - they go quickly. Love your quilts.

Very nice! My favorite block is the HST because there are so many ways you can position the blocks in a quilt and get a different look every time. You did a great job with yours!

I too love HSTs. Thanks for sharing your ideas.

Great HST's. Thanks for your ideas.

I am convinced that there is room in the quilting world for a great variety, including these quick quilts, crumb quilts and the more complex, whether traditional or modern. I think of these as letting the fabric do the work. They are especially good with the larger scale novelty fabrics.

All are beautiful.

Thank you for the idea. Have not tried HST yet, but think I could handle a large block.

Nice idea for using scraps. Thanks for taking the time to share with us!

What size are these quilts and with what size sqs. How big is the HST. I'ed like to learn.
