What was your inspiration?
My wonderful Aunt Phyllis loves orange, aqua, and brown. And she has a chipper, happy go lucky, orange personality. The sun always shines according to Aunt Phyllis. This quilt is a bit of additional sunshine!
What are you most proud of?
that she loves it!
What advice would you give someone starting this project?
Supposedly, the rule for HSTs is to cut the square 7/8" larger than the size square you want to end up with... BUT I ALWAYS add a full 1" and ALWAYS "square-up" the pressed open HST to the finish size desired. You square it up just a snitch on each side and voila: perfection. All your seams will match, be crisp points, and a joy to create.
