HST Block Progress

| blocks made from scrap HSTs |
You might not remember my quest to use the squares in my 3.5 inch bin, but I don’t blame you: that sewing blitz occurred in September. I finally got tired of moving the baskets of HSTs from one place to another and started sewing them into blocks. I have fifteen blocks completely finished and another five on a tray ready to sew.
The block resembles the Economy Block and uses 16 HSTs. Doing a bit of math, you’ll discover that the 20 blocks I’ve made so far used 320 HSTs from my baskets. The blocks will finish at 10 inches.
Can you believe I can still make more blocks! I’m hoping to have enough for least 30 blocks. Do you think there are 160 HSTs in this basket? I haven’t counted, but I hope it’s close.
I have another QOV on the design wall to finish (this squirrel project lead me down a rabbit hole the last few days) before I can start thinking about making these blocks into a quilt.
Your creativity and patience is amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteThe Dear Jane block that I am working on now combines HSTs in a similar way and it's making my head hurt. I'm having a hard time isolating the elements to get them to do what I need them to do. You've certainly mastered it!
ReplyDeleteit's so fun using up every scrap of fabric! (and sometimes making more in the process!)
ReplyDeleteI'm amazed by you and the patience you have in sewing all of those tiny scraps. I do NOT have that much patience, that's for sure.
