As part of our swag bag at Sewing Summit, beebolt gave fabric squares to everyone so we could each make a block which will then be made into a quilt and auctioned off for charity. I decided to give half square triangles another try.

See?! They are so versatile! They start out looking like this:

I'm excited to see what everyone comes up with, and can't wait to see how it all comes together in a finished quilt. Thanks, beebolt! 
I love the versatility of HSTs. They rock! And the orange you chose to frame your block is perfect! I am hoping to get my block made this weekend.
