And now with the quilt top finished, I have an extra decision to make. The quilt top used stitch and flip corners, so now I have a wonderful array of Bonus Half Square Triangles that I thought would make a cute little pillow to go with the quilt :) The only question is, what layout to do??? I played with a Giant Diamond, Straight Rows, Chevron, and Little Diamonds. And of course, the possibilities go on and on :)
Do you have a favorite HST layout??? Help a girl decide :)
I hope you all have a very Happy Quilting Weekend!!!

Little diamonds is my favourite.
ReplyDeleteI like the crystal piecing look of the lower right.
ReplyDeleteLove the diamonds!
ReplyDeleteI like the straight rows!
ReplyDeleteI like the first version the best - one center diamond!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, that's not really a diamond. I still like the 1st photo (top row, left side) even if it's an Hourglass/Qtr-Sqr Triangle block!
ReplyDeleteThe are all beautiful but Giant Diamond is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteI think that is what I love about half square triangles. So many possibilities.
ReplyDeleteOh I always have a hard time with this. All of the arrangements are wonderufl
ReplyDeleteNow, just make 4
Really? the bottom right. But that is after a lot of agonizing hahah
Last half square triangle thing I did was a leader and ender and I ended up doing it like the bottom right - diamond set-up. Turned out very effective.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE the little diamonds! I can't wait to see which one you decide on!
ReplyDeleteTry this kind of layout with your lights and darks as another option: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/143200463139657934/
ReplyDeleteI also have an entire HST board with fun ideas: https://www.pinterest.com/mpv61/quilting/hsts/
I do love how much a person can do with HSTs!
I like the first one (the large diamond layout). Seems to show off the fabrics best.
ReplyDeleteI like the top left and bottom right--not sure I could pick between the two!
ReplyDeleteI like the large diamond layout. Not so busy!!
ReplyDeleteBroken dishes always look cute! That fabric looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteI really like the top left, but off-centered a little bit. It gives a more dynamic look!
ReplyDeleteLittle Diamonds is my favorite. Can't wait to see the whole quilt. Love the fabric and the "quilt swirl".
ReplyDeleteLittle Diamonds is really pleasing to my eye. But you're the maker and designer, I have faith in your decision. lol
ReplyDeleteI like the last one, it reminds me of little sailboats.
ReplyDeleteThe bottom left layout makes your eyes linger longer because it is not often seen, so I vote for that one!
