I'm seeing half square triangles in my sleep.

Just a few days ago, this was all I had pieced and I wondered if I'd have enough scraps to make even a lap-sized quilt.  I thought I may have to resort to adding a border or two.

 I kept cutting and piecing, roaming through my stash, looking for whatever I thought might work.  I managed to re purpose the last bits remaining from a couple of dresses I made years ago along with pieces from a few shirts ( okay, Nicolette, I did end up grabbing some fabric from my plaid shirt stash... but only a little; nevertheless, you were wise to suggest this ;o).

I'm rather amazed when I look at it now.  I took those few rows of HSTs and I've managed to cobble together enough to double their length, and I nearly doubled the total number of rows (here's an in progress comparison...the rows now are almost the height of my wall!).

 There will be 19 rows, with 24 HSTs in each row when I'm finished piecing.   Whew.

 It has really helped being able to see the rows together on the wall as I'm sewing along.  The trick was to try to keep the various shades of blue from "clumping" as I wanted the layout to make the eye travel with the zig zag pattern the blocks make.

The end is in sight! I'm piecing the last two rows and then I will have 4 completed rows to add to the ones pictured above, making the total 19.  If I can, I may even add one more row to bring things to an even 20.   Now, I laugh, to think I was concerned I would run out of blues before I could make a bed sized quilt.  My face is a little red even to admit this. Sheesh. LOL  Sometimes it's nice to be wrong. ;o)
