Educational TidBits

October 2024
CHAIN PIECING
HALF SQUARE TRIANGLES
USING
THE ACCORDION METHOD
 

Happy October.  I am pleased to say we are back in our manor with new bathrooms, mini split air conditioning, and light weight sliding closet doors that can be opened and closed easily without throwing out my back.  It is so good to be back home.  Although I am not wearing ruby slippers, I have to say, “there is no place like home”.  

In preparation for the renovation, we had to pack up quite a few of our belongings.  My closet was one of the items on the list of things being renovated. I got new doors, new shelving, and new flooring.  Before the closet could be updated,  all my clothes and the other things stored in there had to come out.   

At the same time we were packing up our belongings, we decided it was a good time to donate excess stuff rather than keep things we no longer use.  I reviewed my fabric collection and passed along those fabrics I no longer wanted to keep.  I found that I had many Kona Cotton solids taking up a great deal of space.  So, I decided to make something with my collection and pass along the residual scraps and unused fabrics.

While looking for a quilt pattern to use for my solids, I recalled a quilt made of solids featured in the YouTube videos presented by Karen Brown of Just Get It Done Quilts.  I really love that quilt.  It is made of bright solid half square triangles (HSTs).  The pattern is called “Postcards from Toronto” (also known as “Postcards from Sweden”).  Coincidentally, Karen Brown recently made a YouTube video featuring this quilt in her Stashbuster Series.  She used the accordion method for creating HSTs.  I had never seen this method before and was so intrigued with the accordion method, I just had to try it and write a tidbit on it.
