Over the last week or so I've been working on these half square triangle blocks... soon to turn into a quilt top, fingers crossed! Rita over at Red Pepper Quilts has made a handful of really gorgeous quilts using the same kind of block, and I've just been enamored with them!Now... to get just the right layout - that will be the challenging part. This quilt will be a Christmas gift, if all ends well ;-) For whom? I cannot yet say....

Rita's quilt was absolutely gorgeous and I'm sure yours will be too! :) Can't wait to see it!
These squares look lovely!
Hi Cristin - I can't wait to see the finished quilt top! Glad to have inspired you...

I've been loving Rita's half-square triangles, too, and I see you are using some beautiful Amy Butler fabrics. Can't wait to see what you come up with.
How weird I have just today been making my first foray into half square triangles. Tell me are you doing the short cut way of sewing down the two sides of the square and then cutting the square in half to make the two triangles? I am and I'm not entirely sure it is a short cut ... at least not the way I sew (i.e crooked)!
I love the colours you are using - it is going to ge a lovely quilt. I love Rita's half square triangle quilts!
Love Rita's quilt soooo much!! I can see why you want to make one, because now I do too!!! Love the soft fabrics you chose, can't wait to see how you lay it out.
Wow! Can't wait to see the finished piece...Rita is certainly an inspiration! Cheers to that!
What delightful colors. Subdued and yet to cheerie. Can't wait to see the final Ta-Da..
Can't wait to see what you make with these! I have been loving all of the half triangle quilts I've been seeing on flickr lately
I hope you post your different layout options for us to see. There are so many possibilities with half square triangles.
Since I'm constantly on the hunt for a "linen" that is easier to work with...what solid did you use here?
Thanks! Great blog, too. I've just started going through all the back archives...nice work!
