So after my last post and the disaster of trying to get the Split Herringbone measure the same I put it away for a little while because looking at it made me angry lol... I still don't like to think about it!
As I was looking at it when I finally got it out of the box I decided it wasn't really my sisters style (I told you I was changeable!!) - so I went back to my original ideas and decided on the Half Square Triangle Quilt!
I found one one with colours that I really liked online (::Pantone Pop Quilt:: - SewKatieDid) that listed the colours used (because I still suck at that bit) and set about sewing up a storm!
The good news is HST really don't take long so my quilt top is finished!
I got to thinking what I was going to do with all the scraps that where created when I was making The Split Herringbone and...
I made some Sawtooth Stars with them!
These are going to go onto the backing.
Now originally the whole back was going to be white with these dotted around, but I'm not very good with improv because I spend wayyyy to much time trying to get things lined up - so for my sanity I decided to use them as two strips between another fabric, my sister is a science nerd so this seemed like a good choice!
More good news is I am onto assembling the back! I have all my Stars sewn and I'm just sewing them together into strips... bad news is I have to find time (stupid work, do they not know I have things to create?!)
