Lessons From An Old Half-Square Triangle Quilt
Antique quilts are my favorite, and this one is no exception! I just love how the maker used a simple scrappy half-square triangle block, or as sometimes called HST, to make a lovely quilt. Half square triangles are so versatile and quilts made with half square triangles are stunning. We can see from vintage and antique quilts that this isn't a new idea in quilt making. It is a classic design that we can all use to make amazing quilts from scraps.

Lessons from an Antique Scrap Quilt
I have had this quilt in my collection for about two years now and have been waiting to share it with everyone. I am not sure why I waited so long—it is a beauty. Maybe I wanted to keep it to myself for a little longer? That is probably it. Although I say this about all the old quilts I review, this really is a favorite, and possible the one that has taught me the most. At one point I was going to make this my 100th Lessons from an Old Quilt video because it is so special, but I changed my mind. The time is now to share this one with the world. I hope you love it as much as I love it.
