HRT Ragout
60 x 80
It's a flimsy!
I started making these Half Rectangle Triangles (HRTs) in September 2018 as a Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC) project to use scraps from the 4.5 width bin.
I used a Tri-Rec ruler and cut a few pieces facing the wrong direction but I included those anyway.
There's quite a mixture of prints, colors, neutrals - all from the 4.5 inch scrap bin which I hope to have emptied by year end.
Since the start in September 2018 I just made a few HRTs each month using scraps from the 4.5 inch scrap bin in the RSC color of the month. Sometimes there would be lots of scraps in a color and sometimes hardly anything. I just used what scraps were in the bin only.
I sewed the HRTs together randomly.
I hope to finish this quilt this month so I'll declare it my
that's a great scrappy quilt - I like adding the wrong ones for fun
ReplyDeleteScrappy at its finest! Love this one.
ReplyDeleteReally great scrappy quilt. Great idea to make those HRTs
ReplyDeleteLove the scrappyness of just sewing them together. And the wrong way ones! Awesome. It’s fabulous!
ReplyDeletegorgeous, simply gorgeous...nothing compares to a wild and crazy scrappy!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I love all the scrappy goodness of this quilt.
ReplyDeleteyou come up with the best scrappy quilts~ a little sewing on a few different quilts and before you know it....well at least before we know it....you have a quilt! Love the triangles cut and added facing different direction!!!
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteAwesome quilt...love all the different colors.
Have a great day!
I love the wrong way ones! It perks up the whole quilt!
ReplyDeleteAgain, you amaze me; it is very pretty! ---"Love"
ReplyDeleteThe "misplaced" units add sparkle! It's a delicious ragout.
ReplyDeleteLike all your commenters, I love the scrappiness of this one! The "wrong" ones are a fun surprise, I think! You always come up with the best names for your quilts, too.
ReplyDeleteLovely! I like the way some of the triangles have changed direction, even if that was an accident of cutting. It adds to the fun!
ReplyDeleteLovely, congratulations on this beautiful finish! Fun to look for the wrong direction triangles ;)
ReplyDeleteJust say those "wrong" blocks are a design decision. Actually, I think they add interest to the quilt.
ReplyDeleteGolly, I like this!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, amazing what you can make from a bunch of leftover bits and pieces. Have you used up the scraps from the bin yet? Or is that a silly question?
ReplyDeleteI love those wrong-way triangles - they're like scattered laughter!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE the "backwards" blocks thrown into the mix!! It adds a lot of interest to your quilt top. Happy finishing!
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful quilt top!
ReplyDeleteFabulous! I love how you sew blocks together randomly and include the mistakes and it turns out beautifully every time!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gloriously cheerful quilt top! I love it!
ReplyDeleteThose misscut HRT's add a lot of interest! :)
ReplyDeleteThe wrong way triangles totally make this quilt! That's what I call serendipity :)
ReplyDeleteI love this. And I love that you were able to say "####" did I do wrong ? and still put those blocks in the quilt top. My kind of quilter ;-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great quilt, and it’s made all the more interesting by including the “backwards” HRTs. Just this morning I pulled out the HRT die for my Accuquilt cutter as it’s one of the blocks I’m considering starting for RSC 2021. Heck, what’s one more project added to the list?
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful flimsy, looking forward to the quilting. Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteHooray! Another flimsy finish!
ReplyDeleteThis one is SO awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteYour scrap quilts are always so lively and this is one of the best. Love all those twinkling triangles. Just what I should do with some of mine.
ReplyDeleteA joyful explosion of color. Love it!!!
ReplyDeleteFun. Thanks for linking up with Elm Street Quilts One Monthly goal and good luck with your project.
