.[ATTACH=CONFIG]594121[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]594122[/ATTACH] I love it!! So many subpatterns going on that keep the eyes moving around it. Beautiful. |
JenniePenny, just wondering how many HSTs you had to make to create this absolutely wonderful quilt, Liberty Trees. It's always off putting for me when I see so very many HSTs in a pattern. I usually make them using the 8 at a time method, but even then, it seems overwhelming when a pattern calls for 100 or more. What method do you use for making HST's when they are needed in such large numbers? I counted 392 in just the trees alone. How large is your finished quilt?
Thanks for sharing, I am in love and inspired. |
Thank you very much Wildyard. I can't say that I have a good method for HST units, because I do them in the most boring way ever. I cut my squares in half on the diagonal, and then sew a colored piece to a white piece on that bias edge. Then I square up the units. i just did them in little groupings, then put a few rows of them together to form tree bases or tree tops, then a few more groups of HST, then switched over to some four patches- never too many HST's at once.
The quilt isn't terribly large - 65 X 76, but it did feel like a large project. The bed n the photo is only full sized. |
A winner of a HST quilt JenniePenny.

Thanks for your reply JenniePenny! I remain amazed at your quilt and your HST work!!
Are the tree HSTs made with 2.5" cuts? |

Re: Post #2502- Gannyrosie I absolutely ADORE your kodachrome quilt!!! Are the kodachrome strips 2-1/2" wide? And how wide are the black sashing strips? How big is it? As I said, I love it, love it, love it. Looks like the kodachrome strips are all different lengths, right?[/QU hi jem39, thank to you an all who like Kodachrome
I starred with an old roll of calulator tape but only had one roll. So I cmpromised ,it measured 2 1/4 inches wide so I just cut newspaper to that width. The sashing is 1.5 inchs wide. It's about 72 inches square. I think what makes the strips look dif length is the few black pieces in the strips. |
JenniePennie, your quilt is beautiful. I just love the surrounding scrappy trees!!!
