A couple of posts ago, I talked about a baggie of triangles that yielded more than 400 half square triangles with no fabric repeats. The friend who gave them to me told me they were off cuts from a millennial quilt she had made and last week she brought the quilt to our Tuesday group for me to see. It’s huge, and I couldn’t get all of it into the picture.
I love how she worked her colors so that the pattern looks like it sparkles. She was in some kind of group exchange. I'm pretty sure not all the fabrics are 100% cotton, but so far I'm using them all.
Meanwhile, I’ve been pairing half square triangles with a white fabric. This ought to give me lots of mindless, therapeutic stitching for a while.
I neglected to post a picture of this 1000-piece puzzle I
finally finished. It was a challenge. Now I’ve got a 500-piece puzzle in the works,
courtesy of my daughter. She also left me with two others that are waiting in the wings. Arrrrgh!

that is a neat quilt and lucky you for getting all the hst's to use - I did a trade years ago with quilters and made a star quilt with pieces - I'm not sure how old it is now I haven't had it out in years - I really need to go through old quilts
What a pretty quilt! Looking forward to seeing what you do with your endless HSTs. :D What do you do with your puzzles after you finish them?
That quilt looks amazing, so pretty! Looking forward to see what you are doing with all the HSTs. I'm curious too; what do you do with the finished puzzles? I haven't done one in ages.
