I’m back to making half-square triangles this week. There are so many shades of colour in my focus fabric that I thought it would be nice to have a wider range of colours in my bear paws, as well. I’m making the Bears in the Farmhouse pattern by Judy Laquidara.
Here are the additional green “claws”:
and more amethyst “claws”:
The focus fabric is the 1997 Hoffman Challenge fabric, called “Kaleidoscope.”
Later on in the pattern, I will also need some larger half-square units, so I have started making those, too, to be sure that I have enough fabric for a nice variety of fabrics in both sets.
As a result, I now have many more HSTs than I will need for one quilt, so I am thinking about making two quilts of the same pattern, at the same time. I could keep one and give one, or we could have two matching quilts for twin beds in a guest room someday.
I hope that plan is not too ambitious…but if I have the whole year to finish, it might work out fine.
To see how others in our group are progressing, please visit their blogs listed under “Challenge Participants” in the blog roll.
Happy Quilting!
You post is coming with PERFECT TIMING! I have a ba-zillion other irons in the fire and have been tackling them here-n-there….but with a 4-day weekend and a quiltathon being hosted by Judy, —-YES! “Too Good to Cut” MAY just see a start this weekend!
Happy Friday
I too have many HST’s to make. I guess I should get started.
I don’t know how you can wait a whole year to finish this – your fabrics are really lovely! Love getting updates
