Half square triangle quilt
 

I hope it doesn't come out sideways. Don't know how to turn it now that it's on the site.

Oh my, what a lot of work. You did a terrific job. It looks like a bunch of sailboats. Thanks for showing us.

That is a lot of HSTs. It looks great with the sashing. Job well done

Very impressive and loads of work. Well done!

Were all those HST's leftover from other projects?

Wow! What a lot of work! It is beautiful and I love how the sashing and cornerstones give your eyes a place to rest.

WOW that is a lot of half square triangles. Such patience........lovely result.

beautiful triangles. great work.

You did a lot of work. :)

great quilt!!!

Oh I should've done this with my leftover HST instead of trying to match up for pinwheels. What size are the HST? Fabulous job!

Wow! All those triangles! What a beautiful quilt.

Beautiful quilt-sure to be a great conversation starter. I hope you enter it in a quilt show. It is sure to garner lots of positive comment. Truly lovely.

I am doing one with 700+ HST. Nothing compared to yours. I counted 1280 HST!! Very nice!!

Very pretty! Lots of work in there! Great job!

Gorgeous!!!! Great job!

Great quilt with all the half-square triangles! Thank you for sharing with us!

What a lot of HST!! They make a beautiful quilt but would drive me bonkers!! Great job!!

Beautiful quilt!

looks really good

Fabulous quilt and such a lot of work. It's a beauty, nice with the sashing and cornerstones.

Wow! Really beautiful quilt.

That is really a beauty. How long did that take?

wow, looks great.

I'm exhausted just thinking about how long all those HST's took to do! Bravery badge for you!

super job!!!!

Love it! I'm working on one as well but wasn't sure whether to sash or not. I may follow your lead on this one.

Sideways or not, it is easy to see what a spectacular quilt this is. Amazing the impact the simple HST unit can create. Was this a leaders and enders project?

LOVE IT. BrendaK

WOW! Looks wonderful! I admire you getting it done and having it look so great!

That turned out fantastic either sideways or right side up. LOL. That was an awful lot of work but well worth it.

Wonderful! That's using every last scrap, it seems like I throw away tiny triangles. Maybe I'll have to start saving them. My photos appear on their side too. Luckily with most quilts, it doesn't matter. Good job!

Great quilt....did you do it all at once or use the Leaders and Enders while working on another project?

WOW - sure looks like a ton of work.....I love scrappy quilts....and I like your use of light and dark fabrics with the dark always on the bottom of the piece.......

Even sideways it's a beauty!

They are 2" finished half square triangles. 80 blocks. It started out as a cleaning of the sewing room project. I had 3 boxes of batik scraps and wanted to thin them out. Ha Ha, now I have even more. I used as many of the scraps as I could then went to buying lots more batiks. Used the multiple half square triangle method as much as possible. Thanks much for all the comments. Glad you enjoyed it. I will enjoy it on my bed until they bury me. I used a wool batting. Oh, you have never slept so comfy as you will under a wool batting quilt. Took me about 6 months of sewing every day to piece the quilt. I'm a bit obsessed with sewing little bits of fabric together. It was a pattern from McCalls Quilting magazine Oct. 2011. Loved the pattern so I saved it. I think it measures 82" by 102", a queen sized quilt.

Wow! Now that's a lotta work! excellent patience you had!

Outstanding!! Sideways or not this looks really good. Note to self--add to bucket list.

Your gorgeous quilt would look good sideways, upside down, tilted or any which way. Thank you for sharing, it is beautiful and something I want to do. As a lover of HSTs I'm always looking for things to do with them so thank you for giving me another idea. May I ask how long it took to make that beauty? Could a person just make HSTs over a period of time and then when you have enough put them all together? That way you wouldn't get discouraged as you make so many of them. This would work for me as I always have three or more projects going at the same time so I can switch between them, thus avoiding the unlikely chance of becoming bored with a project.
