Tiptoe through the.....

.....HSTs....with me!?




I have found another block I can make with a charm square and I confess a little bit of trimming!

Cut a 2.5" strip from the charm square and pair with the background strip - in my case some white!   Make into four HSTs.  2 HSTs paired with a white and a print 2.25" square make a tulip style block!  I got two out of each charm.   These little sub-units are 3" square unfinished....


Make four in different prints - I've chosen purple,yellow, green, blue and pink for a bit of a Spring feeling.  

 Add a bit of sashing in white with a central square and you get a block called butterfly at the crossroads among other names!  And a quilt like this!




Not sure if I'll follow this layout but I'm definitely loving the spring colours!

    I think that those HSTs would drive me made but I do like your plan. Di x

    That is going to be a lot of trimming! It's a going to be worth it though!

    I love it! I do think you've caught a spring HST bug though - do pass it on, won't you?!

    You have definitely got a thing with those triangles, Nicky!

    Love the colours, shame the weather isn't Spring like to match.
