It involves using striped prints where the stripes are irregular. You can choose any size for the HST's. I cut the original squares 6", which makes a slightly smaller block when sewn into a HST's. The trick is keeping everything organized, so that you can match the stripes for each block. Plus you need 3 and sometimes 4 blocks made identically. The HST's can be arranged in any fashion as desired.

Here's a blog that shows folks working on the quilt. One on the design board gives a clue as to the construction.

Thanks, IQ2! Since the blog you posted said some of the quilters were from Lubbock, that explains how the pattern/technique found its way to me. I think I see my teacher on the pictures!

Where you see the stripes meeting at right angles -- those are HST's. The whole design is made up of small blocks of HST's that are then arranged to form the pattern. There was a lot of stripe matching, both for the HST's and in several places where the blocks were sewn together and in rows. It was good practice for me.

Mary,

I do not know if the pattern has ever been published. It is simply blocks of HST's arranged as desired. The key is to use fabric with uneven stripes in the first place. I started by cutting 6" squares to make the HST's, but you can use any size.

IQ2 posted the following blog, which shows a group making that quilt, and it should be helpful if you are thinking of making one.

Fabulous quilt, love how the stripes give your quilt a unique and beautiful look. Love it, especially the colors of the stripes and how they interact with each other. Great job.

Good job. Nice fabric choices.

wildyard 03-07-2014 02:28 PM

I, too, am in love with your quilt!!! I have a collection of striped fabrics that has been waiting for the right pattern! I also have been searching for a book that is about using striped fabric for different patterns.
A while back seems like someone had posted some awesome blocks using stripes, that started my collecting them. Now I can't find the posts nor books about it.

mimiknoxtaylor 03-07-2014 02:51 PM

Well, I avoid stripes but now I'll have to watch for some. Your quilt is lovely & the tourquise is perfect.
