I really love your HST quit!  That was a lot of points to match up.  I made one something like it years ago and it took me forever because I made the HSTs as leaders and enders while I was working on other things.  I like quilts that you don't have to d a lot of thinking and planning.  I'm glad you got your HSTs out of solitary confinement and made such a lovely quilt.

The border with the "escaping" HSTs really makes the quilt.  Thanks for sharing.

That is a pretty design. I love how simple it is. Congratulations on getting another project to the flimsy stage.

Yup!!!  I really liked that whimsical aspect also!

What made matching the intersections easier is that I took the time to TRIM each and every HST to 4.5".  Tedious, sure .. but the benefits down the line are worth the time spent. 

I do the same thing about trimming the HSTs.  In fact, I tend to oversize them so I won't be short, then trim to fit. It is tedious but worth it.

Love it, Pirate!

So I finished up a UFO:  This will be completed to make a baby gift for a coworker, whose wife is expecting her first baby! I needed a break from this project for a while, so I thought I'd organize my 1930's box, with its myriad of UFO/WIP, cut offs, etc. Oh, boy! My right tricep is hurting from all the ironing and cutting. Hey, if anyone ever tells you quilting isn't a workout, it's more than a catholic church...I iron, I sit to sew, I stand and iron, cut, iron, sit to sew, etc...and triceps and biceps get a workout too, lifting iron, pressing down with rotary cutter, etc. LOL!!! :D 

(a little joke as I grew up in Catholic school. Sorry; I couldn't help myself)

Cute quilt!

Thanks! They were a swap many many years ago that I apparently just stuffed in a bag and hid. LOL!!!
