First off...beautiful. secondly, have you tried chain peicing. You cound premake all the HST's, then lay out squares in desired pattern....and start stitching!

For the HST's.... If you have scraps that you can cut into squares, cut them 7/8" larger than you finished squares. Mark the diagonal on the lighter piece and sew 1/4" away from diagonal on both sides. Cut on the diagonal and you have two completed HST's. That's all I've got for you. Scrap quilts take extra time. But you are using up your bonus fabric - so it is ok!

I do not know of a faster way, sorry!!! It is so beautiful!!!!!!!!

Slow maybe but so worth it...very pretty.

I love your idea. This quilt will be so pretty!

Wow what a beautiful quilt that will be.

Whatever you do or however long it takes, this is and will be a beautiful work of art. Keep going!

You did a great job!

I saw a tutorial from Missouri Star Quilts where she took 2 squares and sewed them together a 1/4" around the entire square and then cut diagonally and got 4 half square triangles. I love their tutorials. I think this was in a tutorial about an extra large quilt block that needed half square triangles.

One square at a time. Oh the fun of it!
