Some of you know that I love love love making and using half-square triangles! Maybe it's something about the idea of sewing the seams and ending up with two blocks when I'm finished that turns me on. I'm not sure.
Anyway, I recently sewed some white squares with blue squares from my Bear Patch Bits.
I press them four at a time, with the dark side on top. First I press them as sewn, to set the seam, which I learned on Fons and Porter.
Then it's easy to "unfold" them and press the seam to the dark side.

I put them up on my design wall, but it looked too small to me. So I chose more blue squares, and paired a light blue square with a darker one. Made them into HSTs, and put them around the edges of my first group of HSTs.

I like how the second group of blocks sort of "contains" the first blocks. Now the plan is to add a white border, then bind it all up with a dark blue. Should make a nice little baby quilt.
