I seem to have a lot of HSTs around. The other day I talked about the Mostly Manor HST quilt<\/a>. I found the bag of Ta Dots & Stripes HSTs recently and laid them out to see what I could do with them.<\/p>\n

First, they didn’t turn out as expected. The stripes are a lot darker than I anticipated and kind of dominate the quilt.<\/p>\n

The other layout was inspired by a quilt on the Quilts and More Summer 2017 issue<\/a>. It is straight HSTs in kind of a color order all pointing in the same direction. I thought it would be a possibility for this quilt.<\/p>\n

It is ok, but the contrast is still difficult.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
