I like big blocks and I cannot lie! You other quilters can't deny! Ok....that's all I've got without offending people. I'm calling this quilt the "Cross Your Fingers" quilt because that essentially what I did: cut some fat quarters and crossed my fingers. I was inspired by Jeni's recent quilt using vintage sheets and only one HUGE block. I was going to do the same quilt, but I really wanted to use my 12 pack of Moda Crossweave fat quarters (from Pink Castle fabrics on etsy!) and I needed 16 fat quarters for Jeni's quilt.
I decided to make giant HST (half square triangles) instead! I cut 17.5" squares from all the FQs, put it with a white 17.5" square, sewed 1/4" around all sides, cut diagonally, and POOF! 4 HST ready to go!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, they're on the bias. So what? It all worked out fine! See? That finger crossing really does help!
This is yet another item destined for the bazaar.....or my mom's couch if it doesn't sell! :)
Oh, and thank you everyone for all of your wonderful advice on my last post!

It's a really pretty quilt top. I can already picture it quilted... flowing feathers, quilted with variegated thread, through the white areas. Wow.

Love your big block quilt. I have a couple of tops I've done as big blocks and someday I'll figure out how to quilt them and get them finished.
