I started creating the half-square triangles (HST) for this quilt before I started putting together the HST for the original Triangle Madness quilt. I had left over fabric from my Double Hour Glass quilt and was wondering what to do with them. When I saw Liz's (from Goddess in Progress) the finished product I really wanted to try that pattern.
Now I know I said I hated the process of making and trimming the HST, so why would I do it again?! Well I thought the worst part was trimming the HST. To get around the trimming part I used Thangles. I really liked using the Thangles. They come out perfect. And it can be sewn in strips not squares. The process of making the HST was not nearly as bad this time.
This pattern is doable in blocks which means no strip piecing. Hooray! I actually enjoyed putting it together, plus this is a crib sized quilt so it didn't seem like such an enormous project.
I quilted it the same way I did my other Triangle madness quilt.
This quilt was giving to my dear friend Eva for her newest little baby Aria. Happy New Baby!
