‘SPARKLE’ is 52" x 65" bold, bright and graphic lap quilt that features half-square triangles with a little bit of attitude!
This design has been floating around in my head and I’ve made numerous variations throughout the years. I seem to ‘follow the rainbow’ when picking my colors, but there are unlimited options if you choose to change it up.
When making HST’s I prefer to use the Two-at-a-Time method which allows me to use a variety of colors. I also make my HST’s larger than required, and trim each one to the size required. The measurement given in the cutting instructions allows for trimming without being overly wasteful.
You will also use the Flip & Stitch method and nesting seams for the accent squares. To add to the pattern, all instructions are illustrated.
Half Square triangle magic, flip and stitch and nested seams are some of the highlights of this design. Simple techniques that make precision easier to achieve.
I just about exclusively use solids my most of my designs, but there are so many options available!
