Lessons From An Old Half-Square Triangle Quilt
Antique quilts are my favorite, and this one is no exception! I just love how the maker used a simple scrappy half-square triangle block, or as sometimes called HST, to make a lovely quilt. Half square triangles are so versatile and quilts made with half square triangles are stunning. We can see from vintage and antique quilts that this isn't a new idea in quilt making. It is a classic design that we can all use to make amazing quilts from scraps.
Lessons from an Old Kitchen Sink Quilt
I bought this old quilt top at an auction for $20.00. It is affectionally known as The Kitchen Sink quilt because it has every color in it. Because of that, it also breaks some of the so-called quilting rules.
Come with me as we explore this amazing Kitchen Sink antique quilt top!
