Multiple Projects
 |
| ninety half-square triangles trimmed and squared March 2021 |
The only things I've actually accomplished in the sewing room lately are piles of HSTs - 120 HSTs last week and 90 HSTs this week. The HSTs are for two Quilts of Valor that I'm currently making.
This week's HSTs required making six of each fabric, so I made them two at a time. Last week's project required making multiple HSTs of the same fabrics, so I made eight at a time. I was pleasantly surprised that each method resulted in very little waste and each unit squared accurately without any trouble.
That's a whole lot of HSTs!!!! Bravo for getting them finished.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what you are making with them. The "8 at a time" method of making HST surprised me when I've tried it. The "4 at a time" works well too.
ReplyDeleteSo rewarding that they all worked out.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to give that method a look as I am terrible at making HST.
ReplyDeleteHsts can be time consuming, so that's a good bit of work in my books!
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing with the production you do on the quilts. Bravo! I took 4 crocheted lapghans to the Veteran's Home this morning on the way to get my vaccine. Yesterday I delivered a big bag of baby hats and blankets to the hospital. I'm finishing up all of my deliveries here before I leave. It sounds like you're getting the winds we had last night. It's still blowing today but not nearly as bad. 70 mph gusts yesterday evening and 50-55 mph sustained winds. Not fun in an RV but it did really well.
ReplyDeleteHave a great Monday Nancy.
Blessings,

That's a big job! Now you can get on with the more interesting sewing, putting the blocks together,
ReplyDeleteThat has been a very good collection of HST's!!! It's always fun to arrange them, too, in a quilt!
ReplyDeleteHSTs of one of the things I want to work on this summer. I hope mine are as precise as yours!
ReplyDeleteThe quilts are just amazing. I now Know how much work, or so I imagine, they are! Between you and Val, the work involved is amazing
ReplyDeleteI like making my hst oversized and then trimmed down. Although I like it even better when I cut them with the Go dies. But I don’t have all that many different sizes. You’ve got a great start on your next 2 quilts. I might need to take a lesson from you. B
