I love this quilt! Another simple baby quilt. The hardest part was pulling fabric. It started with pinks and blues and yellows and ended with magenta, peach, pink and a little purple. I don't think you can go wrong with half square triangles. Squares were cut at 5 inches and trimmed to 4.5 ( I use this method). I love the way it turned out, but next time I might cut the squares bigger (cut 6 inches and trimmed to 5.5), only to make it faster.
For the backing I used a Sarah Jane Border Print.
I must say, as much as I love half square triangles, the trimming can get a little tedious. It's totally worth it, but definitely laborious.
Binding is tiny hearts. I've used this print as binding before, and it's a winner. Perfect for baby quilts.

I don't think I've said it enough, but yet another gorgeous baby quilt! Half square triangles look so good - although I don't attempt them much due to their time consuming nature! x

ReplyDeleteThat binding is certainly the perfect finish for a baby quilt! And they are so satisfying to make, aren't they? Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLOVE this quilt! These are great colors together, the Sarah Jane border print is *wonderful* on the back, and that's a super fun binding for it all.
ReplyDeleteI love your choice of binding and backing. Such a cute quilt.
ReplyDeleteYes, those hearts are a great binding for this quilt.
ReplyDeleteYour hard work paid off. This quilt is lovely. That binding!
ReplyDeleteI found you through "Film in the Fridge" and I've had the most fun this evening looking through your many, many quilts. You have great ideas and I love the spirit in your quilts. Thanks for the inspiration you bring to those who read and quilt!
ReplyDeletesweet and pretty quilt! I use a method for HSTs in which you make 8 at a time, with no bias edges, like the 4 at a time method creates. Don't have a link for you but it's easily found online.
ReplyDeleteGreat! I'm going to look it up right now!
