I’m excited to share one of my latest quilt finishes with you today. It’s called HST and the pattern can be found in the current issue (#5) of Make Modern Magazine.
HST designed, pieced and quilted by Christa Watson
When the gals at Make Modern invited me to submit a design, this idea literally popped into my head. I love making half square triangles and thought what a riot it would be to make a quilt from half square triangles that form one larger, modern HST.
HST on my bed – I’m not much of decorator, but this quilt brightens up my room!
It turned out so well that I now use it on my bed and it is so comfy and snuggly! I used Alison Glass Handcrafted batiks from Andover fabrics along with textured solids in 2 shades of grey with a pop of yellow/green just for fun! For batting, I chose the highest loft of Quilter’s Dream cotton that I could and it is very warm. I just love this quilt!

Hmmm, you say you aren’t much of a decorator, EXCEPT- you decorated PERFECTLY with that beautiful quilt. I admit I like seeing the whole quilt, but it is so nice and gives you a real sense of how the quilt looks in real life when it’s on a bed. Thanks for doing the extra step.
Brilliant quilt. Thank you for sharing you are so talented
This is lovely Christa! Congratulations.
love how this turned out!! great work. I need to quilt something with just the close lines, i love how that looks and feels.
I love this quilt and love HST, too! How amazing! I think it looks great on your bed as well! If I ever visit, I am going to snuggle under it and give it a try! hehe
I love the way this looks on your bed – it’s a great quilt!
Beautiful! Congrats on your publication!
love it! Will you be adding it to your published patterns?
Love it! Christa, what is the finished size of your HSTs?
It’s beautiful! Congrats!
Awesome to see the entire thing. It turned out great, the pop of yellow is genius.
I just love this quilt!!! It is so happy on your bed. The colors, fabric and quilting are all just wonderful. You inspire me.
Very pretty! Love the colors.
It turned out beautiful and looks great on your bed. Those pillows were the perfect match for this quilt!
