Are you ready for round 2 for the Stay at Home Round Robin (SAHRR)?
Round 2 was chosen by me -- half-square triangles (HST). HSTs are versatile, and there are many choices you can make. I generally make them the traditional 2-at-a-time way. Blossom Heart Quilts has a great HST tutorial and math formula. If you need some inspiration, check out Patchwork Square.
For this simple 12.5-inch HST block, I used Kona Meringue, Lapis, Pink Flamingo, Black, Corn Yellow, Magenta, Kumquat, Chartreuse, and Red.
I use Bloc Loc rulers to trim my HSTs.
As you can now see, I'm not following the traditional medallion/round robin layout.
Make sure you link up this week's round before Sunday night to be entered in the prize giveaway.

Colorful!!! Yes, there's so much a quilter can do with HST. I like how you're doing blocks, Anja!
ReplyDeleteI like the color of your background fabric. Which Kona color is it?
ReplyDeleteHSTs are really fun blocks. I really like the two at a time method, and your finished block has such a playful and fun use of color.
ReplyDeleteThey really are versatile little babies. I may have a second SAHRR going in the same vein as you.
ReplyDeleteLove the variety of colours in this block!!! It looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty and colorful, Anja! Ha - great minds on the Bloc Loc HST trimmers! LOL
ReplyDeleteGreat variation to do blocks instead of rounds from the prompts. It will make a lovely sampler quilt. I love your bright color choices.
ReplyDeleteWonderful. When I get time, I know what I will do with HSTs for my quilt. I will just have to choose colors and sizes.
ReplyDeleteI am not doing traditional rounds either, so your prompt works gloriously for what I need.
Great versatile choice for this round. I'm loving your layout.
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty colors in your blocks! You do like triangles!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is going to be so colorful and happy!
