Three more new quilt blocks in February

By this time you will be noting that half square triangles are a very common component in many quilt blocks. Here is more evidence.

  • My Fancy - My version uses some flying geese patches to replace a few of the half square triangles so there are less seams and therefore less bulk in the block.

  • Birds in the Air could be considered a study in the use of half square triangles, since that is the only type of patch used in the block.

  • Lady of the Lake is a great example of the use of colour value, as there are definite dark and light components to the block.
