I bought the fabric to make this half-square triangle quilt back in 2014. The quilt shoppe had gotten in some charm packs of "Fancy" (by Lily Ashbury for Moda fabrics) and I bought one. She was anticipating getting some yardage that never came, so I ordered some yardage of the blue bandana-looking fabric for the border and some polka-dot fabric ("My Sunshine" by Zoe Pearn for Riley Blake fabric) to be the background fabric from Missouri Star Quilt Company. I knew exactly what I wanted to make, but for some reason I would never get around to making it, but now I have. I actually finished the top on April 13, but I just haven't been inspired to set down and document things.
I had originally planned to quilt this myself and use the polka dot fabric that is used in the half-square triangles as the backing fabric. I'm not 100% sure that I'm still going to go that route. If I have it long-arm quilted I'll definitely need more fabric. I might need more either way. I think it is pretty touch-and-go in that area. Once the quilt shoppe is open for in-person shopping I may have to see if they have something that will work for alternate backing. But for now I'm happy that it is a completed quilt top instead of a box full of fabric.
The pattern is available here for free. Enjoy.
