Just Two Charm Pack Quilts - Half Square Triangle Patterns

My favorite block of all time to make are half-square triangles so you do tend to show up a bit in my designs.  

I thought that today I would share some of the quilt patterns from my new Just Two Charm Pack Quilts book that use a bunch of half-square triangles.  Do you like half-square triangles or do you have another favorite block?

LOVER'S LANE

Lover's Lane is one of the larger quilts in the book (finishing at about 75" x 75") that uses charm squares for the half-square triangles (HSTs) and the fabric A for some hourglass blocks.

In had one charm pack of Clementine left over from my previous book, Just One Charm Pack Quilts (Circus Stars, alternate colorway on page 66) and really wanted to use it in the Lovers Lane quilt. I was not able to purchase another charm pack of this older collection so I “expanded˝ the one charm pack into two.

The main colorway of Lover's Lane was pieced by Cheryl Brickey and quilted by Bear Creek Quilting Company.

MORE FISHIES

My first book about charm packs, Just One Charm Pack, had a quilt with little fish on it called Fishies. It was one of the most popular designs in the book so I had to make More Fishies! The fish are made with simple HSTs and then the fish blocks are placed on-point in the quilt top.

The main colorway of More Fishies was pieced by Cheryl Brickey and quilted by the Bear Creek Quilting Company.

GROWING VINES

I love how this quilt looks like it has vines growing up from the bottom of the quilt.  The main colorway has a fun difference compared to many of the other quilts in the book, the solids are the charm squares and the print is the fabric A. The gingham print adds a pop to the quilt.

The main colorway of Growing Vines was pieced by Cheryl Brickey and quilted by the Bear Creek Quilting Company.

STAR RAYS

Star quilts are one of my favorite designs and I really like how these blocks are offset and placed in rows. For this design, the charm squares are right next to both the fabric A and the background so be sure to pick supporting fabrics that have good contrast with the charm squares.

The main colorway of Star Rays was pieced by Cheryl Brickey and quilted by the Bear Creek Quilting Company.

DIAGONAL JOY

When the blocks from Diagonal Joy are sewn together, the design has a diagonal look to it. Because the charm squares are cut into 2 ½˝ × 2 ½˝ squares, you could also use smaller scraps or part of a jelly roll for this quilt.

The main colorway of Star Rays was pieced by Cindy Lange.
