When it comes to half square triangles, forget the books and buy Thangles. They work GREAT!!! After using them a few times you get to where you can sew the strips together and do 5 or 6 or even more strips at the same time. Almost no trimming involved once they're cut apart. You can do enough HST for an entire quilt in a short amount of time.
rapture - is that the Eleanor Burns Love Knot featured in your avatar? beautiful!
No, the pattern I found was called Sunset from Clothilde. I call mine Frames. I sat down with graph paper and drew my own pattern because I didn't like the colors, size or anything about the Sunset pattern other than the basic cut. My directions are on a thread called, "Directions for Frames quilt (my avy)" posted somewhere around Mar. 24th. I'm supposed to be doing a tutorial but haven't had the time yet and won't for awhile.
