That's a lovely quilt - I'm sorry you struggled so much with the process! I'm glad you're pleased with the end result, though. What were you thinking? "This is going to be a total brag quilt - look at what I did!!!" :-D

Wonderful quilt! I love your color choices. I don't do triangles.

Well worth the effort and frustration of a Bazillion HSTs. It’s a beauty!

Your quilt is beautiful! But I totally understand why it was unfinished for so long. Kudos to you for finishing.

Such a gorgeous finish, so glad you stayed with it. I don't necessarily like HSTs either so am trying the clearly slotted trimmer before ironing open or the triangle papers that make 16 or more at a time.

You may have hated making it, but it is a lovely quilt. Good for you for hanging in there to complete it. I agree, making HSTs gets old really quickly, but they do make some wonderful quilts. Yours is one of them.
