Half-Square Triangle Quilts

I got some 1930’s reproduction fabric and wanted a pattern that was also vintage: Pinwheels.

saved enough reds to finally do it! Put it together to give to the honey for Christmas. I have always loved the pattern…there sure are a lot of 1/2 square triangles though!

Squares swapped with online Quilters to celebrate 100 years of the Federation of Australia. We sent in 100 squares of Australian Colours, and these were then sorted and sent back. This is the Quilt I made and used the black bias strip to denote Australia as it was then. I used all the squares.

a dear friend of mine, kathleen weinheimer, a renown contemporary quilter, taught classes in color value and i took the class–twice–in order to “get it,” sadly she succumbed to breast cancer before it was finished so i did eventually finish it as homage to her

I created this quilt to challenge myself…to see if I could use half square triangles, eight fat quarters, and one yard of background fabric…so this is the result adding an inner and outer border. It will be Lillian Rose’s quilt, who was born 4 January 2011, my ninth grandchild!

A friend of the family had given me a Singer Featherweight Sewing Machine. As a thank you I made her a quilt. It had a lot of Flying Geese blocks in it and the way it was constructed I had a lot of triangle pieces left over. I sewed these pieces together and designed my little quilt with them.

“PicNic” blanket is my second hand quilted blanket. When I saw these fabrics with so sunny, happy colours, I was thinking at once joyful pinwheeles and pic nic. This blanket is very soft and light – wonderful for a baby to play or anyone else to enjoy sunny day with a pic nic!

I make a bed quilt for every teenager in the family, when they are 18 years old. They pick their colours themselves, and I find a good way of putting all the colours together. This is two different sizes half squares, put together in a special way to get the dark and light lines.

This was made for my Mum to raffle to raise money for a cancer charity in the sheltered housing where she lives. I enjoyed designing a lap quilt which would appeal to older residents and it includes machine embroidery

This quilt began with a block exchange of HSTs in 2005 on the Treadle On group, and I put the top together soon after. The top waited for quilting until 2010 when I was ready to free-motion quilt it with a flower and vine pattern. Quilted on a vintage treadle sewing machine.

This is my first half square triangle quilt! I cut the triangles with my Accuquilt Go cutter using the 4″ finished size die. The solid color is “Stone” from Moda’s Bella Solids line. There’s a wide variety of print fabrics, chosen randomly. There’s also straight line and free motion quilting.
