February Blocks of the Month

This weekend I decided to work on the half square triangle blocks from Amy Gibson's online quilt class.  I love the blocks and half square triangles.

First up on Saturday was the Balkan Star.  I love the way it turned out and I think I did a much better job compared to my previous blocks.


Next up on Sunday was a chunky chevron.  I absolutely love chevrons now.  The block is just so pleasing and I am thrilled with my fabric choices.  For this block I tried starching.  I starched before I cut and throughout the process when I felt like I needed it.  It was much easier to piece because the fabric was a little bit stiffer.  


Now, for all four together:

I am loving this class, if you want to learn a bit about quilting, head on over to Craftsy.com and take the FREE block of the month class.
