It's a top!
60 x 84
These are 12 inch blocks made with 4.5 inch squares and 4.5 inch width scraps.
I found more than enough HSTs already made in the Parts Department.
I also had both light and dark 4.5 inch squares in the Parts Department.
So all I had to do was make 35 QSTs, piece blocks and assemble top.
Last month I finished a version of this quilt using 4 inch width scraps and squares.
Someone sent me an inspiration photo they said was found on Pinterest. I was inspired by the photo to make some blocks from scraps.
I later used Google Lens to track down further info about the photo and found it pinned on Pinterest and the maker on Instagram. I'm not on Instagram but could see enough info about the quilt to see that a Finnish lady has a pattern for it called "Busy Quilt" if you are interested in a pattern. I'm not sure what size her blocks are or what size squares, etc. she used to make her quilt.
And sew on...

What a lovely use for those half-sq triangles, Cathy--you do find the most interesting patterns--and I like your blue version too...
Nice works hugs, Julierose
Love it! So much action and color to explore!!!
I really like it. Such a vintagey vibe.
What a fun quilt top!
Wonderful quilt - love all the different motifs like going on an adventure to see what you may find ❤️
That is an awesome quilt, Cathy! I love how the design is created with the dark diamonds and light diamonds. But am I seeing the block correctly - it's a combination of both the light and dark squares, connected by the HSTs? I really like these blocks!
I love the brights in contrast with the neutrals. I do appreciate the information that you give also. Sometimes, I study your quilt first and sometimes, I read the info. But I always find that I go back and study it again after the info. I also like to click on the links you add in there. It's so nice to see your inspiration too.
