Category: Quilting

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Home

Style: Cute, Traditional, Retro / Vintage, Classic


Materials

Cotton fabric, thread, batting

What was your inspiration?

I was inspired by the fabric I used (Dream On by Urban Chiks) - I wanted to show how to make a traditional block (in this case the Double Z) with no waste using precuts.

What are you most proud of?

How much my grandparents like this quilt! A few years ago my Grandmother gave me a napkin that is exactly the same as one of the prints from this collection (Dream On was inspired by vintage bed linens) so I knew it had to go to them.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

It may seem like a lot of fabric to buy for this quilt but you will have quite a bit leftover in the end - actually enough to make a second quilt (if you double the other materials) using the prints that weren't used in the first one.

It's so fresh.... yet retro (per your grandmother) HST half-square triangles... nice and simple. & NO waste? what's not to love!

Kaye, it's amazing how simple turning and placement of half-square triangles can make such an eye-catching quilt. I love your choice of fabrics...you have a real eye for color.

I love this! It looks like all 1/2 sq. triangles, it's a unique placement.
