Half Square Triangles, a Bigfoot Sighting and 'Snap Stitch and Shoot.'

Half square triangle border, 3 1/2", added to 'liberated' log cabin blocks.

Bigfoot sighting at the King County Fair in Enumclaw, WA.

Hello from the sunny Pacific NW.
Where we are sight seeing and enjoying visiting our son and daughter in law and one year old grandson. He's just walking and talking, so much fun!

I managed to get some time to sew together my HST border and get that sewn onto my 'liberated' log cabin blocks. There'll be another border sewn around that soon. This is a medallion style quilt, inspired by Gwen Marston, who has online quilt classes at 'iquilt'.

I'm linking up with Julie and Linda @ Koka Quilts and JulieLou . Thanks for hosting Snap Stitch and Share!

Remember to visit your local farmer's market for summer fruit and local honey!
Have a great week, I'll be by to visit.

    I like the HST border, especially, for some reason I can't figure, the purple and yellow block in the top right corner. I'll look forward to watching this grow some more too.

      Thanks Kaja. I think you're onto something about that purple and yellow block in the corner, I think it needs a turn.
      It took me the longest time to get all those HST heading in a way I liked, I finally just whooshed them together and hoped for the best.
      I'll get that corner turned and we'll see what that does.

    Great use of colours in this, and I really love the latest border! How big is it going to be? Thanks for linking up with 'sew stitch snap SHARE'

    Wonder how many people will take pictures of that Bigfoot and try to pass them off as being the 'real thing'?

    I have made some border quilts where you start in the centre with something and then add border after border. Pieced, appliquéd, embroidered, with braiding or bias tape... This is a great way of building a medallion quilt.
    Enjoy your walking and talking grandson!

    You are having such fun. I've been enjoying local honey here and I'll never go back to generic.
