Scrappy HSTs


Another finish to share today!

This is my HST scrap quilt made from a random assortment of leftover 5" charm squares. I started making the HSTs a year ago in my guild's 2023 retreat. It has sat as a quilt top for months and the mindless spiral quilting was a calming mental health break after last week.

I donated it to my quilts Community Giving project. We focus on children in the foster care system. This is my second donation for the year - Lily was the first - and I've got another quilt top in process with a stretch goal of finishing it this year.

Have a wonderful day! Patty

  1. The spiral quilting was the perfect choice for this quilt, and I'm glad it provided a bit of comfort to you before finding the right home for long term comfort.

  4. It's beautiful, Patty! I'm impressed because I know how much effort it takes to trim HSTs, and then get all the points to match (or not, in my case). Generally, I tend to avoid this block! But yay you! What a generous donation quilt. You are so good.
