i've been working on this off and on since the day after xmas. all the blocks are done, and i'm about halfway through assembling them for the top. guess who is sick of half-square triangles. :lol:

I know what you mean. Do you have a quick way of doing half triangles?

By the way that looks great, can't wait to see it finished.

That is looking great.

It's looking good!
I'm with you... I don't like HSTs

Patrice it's gorgeous!! Can't wait to see it all together :)

I've got lots of HSTs here, I'll gladly share them with you! :) LOL

THey look awsome. Great job.

But look at the gorgeous results!!

But look at the gorgeous result of your work!!

Awww, but you'll soon forget about the HST pain and just enjoy that beautiful baby! It is looking fantastic!! I love it!

Beautiful!

ooh WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! that is alot of half square triangles but OMG absolutely stunning!!!!!!!!!!! I just LOVE your colour choices too!!!

WOW very striking cant wait to see it finished.

thanks, all, very much. :mrgreen:

it's my own design. for all i know, there's a block just like it out there somewhere, but since i'm making it up as i go along i hope i'm correct in claiming that it's an original.

the fabrics are from Michael Miller Fairy Frost line.

i've named it Mineral Rights because the two prints on black are Copper and Gold.

Its beautiful!!!! did you count the hst's? That is a BUNCH!!!!!

WOW! It looks great, what size is it going to be?
Zoo

That is fabulous Patrice! So many half sq triangles I would be going buggy! LOL I think this is your best work yet that I have seen!

Debbie

320 HSTs so far. (not counting the ones in the scrap drawer or land fill. :lol: )

it'll be just over 5' x 5' when i've done the center. haven't yet decided what do do beyond that. it'll come to me by the time i need an idea. i hope. :lol:

That looks fantaatic. Love the colors! It appears that you've done some very precise work. NICE JOB!

wow, that is so crisp! your precision is amazing. The colors are awesome, the combination really makes the HSTs pop. Can't wait to see the finished product.

That is gorgeous. I love the way the copper and gold are offset by the black and white.

fantastic!!!!! I am doing a block now with triangles. I have decided I do not like triangles.

Yours are great.

Patrice....STAND UP AND TAKE A BOW!!!

Love the design, it's very stylish, your fabrics are perfect too!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Patrice, When we design something as we go and call it ours what IF there is another one just like it somewhere? Can we get in trouble? You know that copywright stuff?? By the way I LOVE your quilt.

the first designer would have to prove in a court of law that there's no way another person could possibly have come up with the design on their own. or that a published version of the design was so readily available that i would've found it with little effort.

looks too much like too many blocks in the public domain for me to worry about any of that.

love it, love it, love it, love it.....
It is magnificant!

It may be a pain in the backside, but it sure is going to be pretty!!

Patrice,
I love those
colors together...
very nice...

I love it. Just my colors for the living room.

I make a lot hst also. They seem to draw me to them. lol that is ok they look so neat.

Man alive that is awesome......just think your almost done....:-) Thanks for sharing!

I cut squares and then make two at a time. By drawing a diagonal line from corner to corner, use the drawn line to sew a 1//4 seam allowance on both sides, and then cut down your line. Eleanor Burns has a way to do it that makes 8 at a time I think, but I can never remeber the math.

Other use thangles, those are sort of like stickers that you put on the fabric and sew on the sewing lines and then remove the thangles.

No wonder you're sick of them Patrice! :D

Wow!!! Patrice--that is just stunning!!! I have never seen a block like it before--you are very good at "making it up as I go along". I LOVE the thin black line that divides the sections--really sets it all off. Simply put-a beautiful creation!!! I cannot wait to see more of it!!!!

Elizabeth

Thats the way I do it also. Just wondered if there was a faster way.

Magnificent, that's all.

All hail the Queen of HST!!!!! Great job Patrice!!!

me?? LOL Looks great! Can't wait to see the top assembled!

WOW Patrice -- that's gonna be awesome!!! Can't wait to see completed quilt! :roll: :roll:

It's not hard to get sick of half-square triangles! But your work was worth it--your quilt is beautiful! Can't wait to see the finished product!

Wow! That is going to be stunning!

Oh my, you do love a challenge!! :lol: :shock: And you've met it every angle of the way! :D

Awesome Patrice! Your colors are great too!
