350 Half Square Triangles.

I cut out tons of 3 inch half square triangles last fall for my HST quilt using my friend Julie's Accuquilt Go!.  Then I decided that I still wouldn't have enough for the size of quilt I wanted and cut out some more.   They are all sewed and pressed right now and I have about 350.

350 little units!   And it still isn't enough!  I really want 500, but could squeeze by with 414.  Time to borrow the Go! again.  Sometimes I wonder if cutting fabric into little pieces and sewing it back together isn't really a bit crazy.


But it sure is fun!

    I read this post this morning and plopped the Go! in my car to drop of on my way outbut you weren't home. I'll have to try again another time. I won't need it for a while and it sounds like you do with so many tiny triangles to cut out. It looks amazing so far and I too love the colors.

    I agree that it is a little bit crazy to cut fabric up and then sew it back together into a large flat piece.

    Love, your Husband.

    Ha! Love that last comment. That's why I alternate with sewing clothes and stuff for the baby :)
