My first quilts were made from half-square triangles.
When I was riding the escalators in the London Underground earlier in the month, I was intrigued by the promotional posters for the latest album by piano rock band Keane (no I had not heard of them before either). A most quilt-like design, I think you would agree!
I have been working on this scrap quilt today:
With the particular values drawn from my scrapbag, I favour the layout on the left where the pattern is more pronounced. According to Judy Hooworth and Margaret Rolfe in their excellent book Spectacular Scraps, there are no less than 256 ways that four HST units can be arranged to make different four-patch blocks. That gives me plenty of options!

Brenda,
What a remarkable poster! Gave me the idea of using fabric printed with family photos on my inkjet printer and fussy cut like the poster. Lovely little quilt on the chair.
Chantel says
from the tones of the scraps used, I prefer the one on the left too

I am always amazed that you know so many children to give quilts too!
