64 Hipbee HST's

This month it is the turn of the lovely Sarah to be Queen of the Hipbees.  She joked with me beforehand that the block she had chosen had 64 HST - this was to get me back for asking for the Lynnebobsquarepants block.  So when I saw that we could make whatever we wanted I knew it had to involve a lot of HST's.  So this is what I made:

 

I got the pattern off quilters cache, where the block is called 'Many Triangles'  In order to beef up the number of HST's I also made up some bonus ones from the flying geese

I count a total of 78 HST's, even better than the 64 Sarah threatened me with!  It wasn't a difficult block to do, although a little fiddly.  And if you don't follow the instructions then the seam ripper becomes your friend

Anyway, Sarah likes the block, which is all that matters - and I made her laugh as well :-)
The weather wasn't all that nice today, so it was the perfect day to do this block and also a bit of secret sewing that I needed to finalise.  I also bought a whole heap of wadding yesterday all ready to baste my Hipbee quilt and maybe the DWR too - but only if the sun isn't shining!
Off to watch some tv now, with a bit of EPP and some of this
