scrappy half square triangle quilt
 

So good to be back to a little quilting again after so much going on for months with my husband's cancer and 5-bypass heart surgery. Amazing what quilting can do for one's attitude and emotions. I just finished this quilt after working on it for months (with quite a lot of interruptions. :) ) At a garage sale last year, I bought a Walmart bag of "cut" half square triangles for $1.....(like I needed more scraps, but can never resist a bargain). Put them together with several pieces of bright yellow I had on hand. I enjoyed making this one and the quilting was fun. Since this will probably be given to the women's crisis center, I decided I would really "Play" with some quilting techniques that I've been afraid to try on some other "designated gift" quilts I've made. Had so much fun with no stress and just letting go.... Used more scraps to make the backing as large as I needed. For some reason, I get an error when trying to download the backing. Sorry. Now, I would love for someone to tell me how to move this into the Scrappy Quilt Show that is on this board. I think it needs to be in that....since it's "scrappy." :)

Oh I just adore this..... very nice..... :-)

Great piecing and quilting. You are lucky that the HST's were cut so nicely. I was given some that weren't and it wasn't fun at all. You did a great job on this quilt.

Beautiful scrappy quilt and I think your quilting looks very good. I'm happy quilting helps you out so much!

Awesome quilt and quilting. Love the yellow with it. Thanks for sharing..Mary.

You did a fabulous job! Quilting always looks so good when it's FMQ. This will surely cheer up some poor soul in the shelter!!

Beautiful! And your quilting is fantastic. So glad you're able to get back to your sewing.

That is beautiful, and so is your quilting!! Thanks for showing it.

Beautiful! Love your quilting.

Love it! How kind of you to donate it. Someone is going to be so pleased.
