Half Square Triangles and a Happy Scrappy Baby Quilt
Half Square Triangles Some friends of ours have a sweet baby on the way and I had to make them a baby quilt. I decided to make a scrappy half square triangle quilt. The colors of her room are yellow, turquoise, orange, and pink. I chose lots of geometric patterns, birds, flowers, and fun little objects such as bikes, scooters, pinwheels, etc. I basically picked all my favorites! I had so much fun working with these fabrics.

The planner is so kind to take on the task of sorting all the squares that are sent in and sending each participant a bundle with one of each square. It is pretty cool. So when it is all said and done you have all these cool fabrics to make a scrappy quilt and in my case, I chose to make an I Spy Quilt using half square triangle blocks. The guidelines for this swap requested fabric with little…
