Help Looking for this chevron pattern
 

[ATTACH=CONFIG]412337[/ATTACH]Would like to make this quilt for my nephew and his wife for Christmas, can anyone help me locate this gray and white chevron pattern. Thanking you in advance.

Here is a tutorial for a chevron pattern that is similar....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUNGH9B0Ohw

That's super simple. It is just HST ( half square triangles)!!!

yep, and there are lots of tutorials out there if you just google chevron quilt pattern.

I agree, am working on one now, no pattern, just make lots of HST whatever size you want. Sew Simple.

I have a feeling it is not hst. I think it could be diamonds .which means if you make strips of Grey white grey white at 21/2inch strips then cut diagonally at. I think 60* help someone is that right for a diamond .and alternate.

Hope this is correct as it is easy.

If you look closely, you can see the seam lines. Definitely HST.

Trust us, they are HSTs. Don't overthink it.

Here's a tutorial for this - altho the colors are different - and you'll see they are HST's...
I say use your favorite colors, your favorite way of making a BUNCH of HST's and have fun!
This is a super quick quilt to make and each one is great looking!

Here you go DOTTYMO - HST and then just turned so there is none of the same color touching.

Thank you ladies, now I can begin cutting and sewing with confidence -

It is called Ombre Herringbone and the post by WTxRed indicated the following website: http://www.rileyblakedesigns.com/blo...rringbone-qui/
which is the pattern I am looking for.

I knew I could count on the expertise which is found on this QB, again thanks for your help.

Thanks everyone. I definitely couldn't see the seams on my iPad.

Donna Jean, I'm so glad that you posted this - what a cool quilt!

Dottymo, it had me fooled, too. I thought they were diamonds, too! I'm so glad they are not! :-)

Jennie Doan has a tutorial on MissouriQuiltco.com

I recommend that you try the tutorial from Missouri Star Quilts that Alleyoop1 just gave you a link to. I have not sandwiched mine yet, as another quilt took priority, but I made the quilt top and have the backing ready on my turq. and white chevron quilt that I made using this same tutorial. Goes together quickly and is a very easy pattern. I love how it came out. I will be giving it to a BFF for Christmas, so I am not in such a big rush to get it completed right away as I have some time yet. Mine will be a very large quilt, will fit nicely on top of a king size bed. I did not put a border on the quilt, as I like how it turned out without a border.

Try Missouri Star Quilt Company. She has a tat on making the chevon quilt. Very simple too. Hope this helps.

I see that it is made of HSTs - but I would try it in chevrons so there would be fewer seams.

There is another method....I've seen on the net and in a magazine. Using 4 1/2 X 2 1/2inch rectangles . Two vertical and two horizontal. The horizontal under the second vertical. after all, it is just right angles . Sizes can vary.

Definitely HSTs - but what a good example of how the eye can be fooled by the quilting lines.

Working on one now.

Go to www.4blocks.com Karen's Bright and Rainbow quilts to see a chevron made with either squares or rectangles.

correction: it sh be www.24blocks.com Karen's Bright and Rainbow quilts

You can see the sewing lines for th e HST, the thing is the color used to make it the right color.

They are definitely HST, and Jenny Doan does perfect tutorials (Missouri Star Quilt Company).

Boy, I couldn't see the HST either......thanks for mentioning the seams......and for the block diagram. Makes the pattern seem a whole lot simpler. That is what I love about this board.......we all help each other.

Here are a couple more pictures of that pattern - I've been eyeing it myself.

here is the blog or one of them)

Thank you, Girlfriend, for posting those lovely pictures!

So ladies, what size do you think those HSTs are? They don't look too big or too small...but for the life of me, I can't decide what size to use for something similar.

I like this pattern quite a bit, and think it was done in 5-inch finished HSTs, so that the backing would be in one piece. That would make it 40 inches wide, from the photos. I can't tell from the photos how long it is, however. It looks great, and would be fast and easy to do.

The Riley Blake pattern has you cut 5" squares to make your HST out of and it finishes at 42" x 52"

thanks for the idea. i have some chevron fleece and was wondering how to make a front for it. great ideas come from here.

Yes, the Missouri Quilt Star tutorials are great. I watch them on my iPad, all the time.

I am wondering the same thing - what size HST? Every tutorial I see uses 5". Do you think that's too big?

Here's another one - in different colors. I wonder if they took a layer cake and made this.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]413366[/ATTACH]

Here's you a quik little reference chart for making the HST's from specifc size blocks - you know where you put 2 blocks right sides together, sew 1/4" from the outside around the outside, then cut 'x' corner to corner...

I made a chevron using this method, used 8" square, finished product was 49x49
http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...k-t218608.html
I did start out with 10" squares and it was just too big so I carefully cut down to find the finished size I wanted for this particular quilt.

I then found this. I don't remember the blog I found this on but it makes perfect sense and did measure out for what i did cutting down (above):
When you open out and iron them you get perfect half square triangles! It’s amazing every time. The basic math is a HST that is roughly 64% of the size of your original square.
So your math would be this:
Beginning Square Size x 0.64 = HST size.
If you knew the size you needed your HST to be, but wanted to find out how big to cut your beginning squares, you would use this equation instead:
HST / 0.64 = Beginning Square Size.
It’s always a good idea to make a test square before beginning a project, as all of our sewing and cutting varies. Not every size is exactly 64%, but it’s a good place to start without getting too involved in the math.

Wow, great information. I am printing this one out. I can now see why a 10" layer cake would make it too big.

Question for you - I have never used this method. Was working with biased edges difficult? Did you spray starch?

Your quilt is just beautiful. I bet your grandaughter loved it.

Thanks for the information - and your help.

Thanks g'friend. I didn't have any issue working with the biased edges. I always use starch. I pressed, trimmed the ears off, laid them out, sewed blocks of 4 first then the blocks to make rows, then sewed the rows together (opposite directions). when i put it on the quilting frame, it was as square of a top as I've ever had. This is a super quick and easy top to make - i think you'll really enjoy the process!
