'Something Blue' Half Square Triangle Quilt

Out of the UFO pile and into the finished pile!  This small piece, measuring 26.5" by 22", went fairly quickly even though it was a little tedious cutting all the triangles.  I wanted to make a two color quilt and came across this pretty blue fabric with kind of a paisley pattern paired up with a soft blue and white stripe.  I've named it "Something Blue" for lack of any imagination on my part.  If you have a better suggestion I'm open to your comments.

Piece is now part of a private collection.

The Half-Square Triangle

  In trying to use up some of my fabric stash I have been sewing up a storm of half square triangles.  If any of you have ever worked with half square triangles before then you know that they can be tricky to make and time consuming to sew.    But I found a web site that offers a free pattern in different sizes of these little gems  (http://www.QuiltingAndWhatnot.com). You just have to print it then cut and sew!  You will have lots of half square triangles at your disposal...along with lots of fun and creativity to boot.  You could even join a half square triangle swap to add variety to your project.  The possibilities are endless!
