Half-Square Triangle Patterns
After I posted about using scraps to make my BLUE TANGO quilt, made from half-square triangle blocks, it occurred to me that I could have highlighted a terrific book that titilates the imagination about half-square triangle possibilities. It’s SPECTACULAR SCRAPS by Judy Hooworth and Margaret Rolfe. BLUE TANGO is a simple light/dark arrangement. You can see from this book cover that you can take half-square triangles to much more complicated places. And, below, see an idea for a “rainy day” design project for children.
Here’s a page from the book that shows some of the many, many ways to arrange light/dark half-square triangles. BLUE TANGO was the first pattern under No 5.
Rainy-day design project for children:
For a rainy-day project with children that helps them “see” design possibilities, have them cut out 3 to 4-inch squares, draw a diagonal line, color in one side, and make some of these designs. Perhaps they will want to paste their design to a poster board as an art piece?
