I finished the binding on the HST quilt last night. Here it is all done it measures 53 x 64. When I started my blog it was so I would have a record of the quilts I made. So here is the story of this quilt. This quilt started because after I sorted and cleaned out my scrap tub I had lots of triangles. 
Here is my drawer of triangles. They are left over from different projects, end cuts, etc. To use them I just started sewing them together light and dark and then cutting them to size.
I ran out of light colored triangles so I made up a bunch more using a poka-dot fabric and a tan fabric with white flowers. Sewed all together randomly used more of the tan for a border and the binding and made the quilt. I think because there are quite a few of the same HST blocks of the same fabric it helps unify the whole quilt. And yet when you look at it as a whole you really don't notice how many of the blocks are the same. I'm surprised how little work and time this quilt took considering all the pieces. I just love the overall effect of the quilt. 
I also love the way the back turned out I like spicing up the back a little

Love it!! I've always thought people who made this quilt were....well, I'm not saying, (LOL)but the way you did it makes it sound possible! Great job.
What a delightful quilt! I just started sewing some squares on the diagonals (for two HST) as a leader/ender project; haven't decided what to do with them once I'm done yet, but I'll remember your quilt for sure! Congratulations on a wonderful job!
It's really turned out wonderful!
Cheers,

Gorgeous quilt! I may have to try it, thanks for the inspiration!
What a marvelous quilt. I have wanted to make a scrappy charm quilt for a long time, but keep getting side tracked. I have been printing out the Judy's star blocks patterns but have not started making them yet. Yours look great!
Congratulations on finishing your quilt!
