12-inch finished block.
— Half Square Triangles created by placining two 3 1/2-inch squares, front fabric sides facing. Stitched diagonal, snipped 1/4-inch from stitch line to create the ivory/red fabric and ivory/green HST squares.
block #1 flower pot from Bright quilt.
— Pot. The 6-inch HST flower pot covers partial area of three of the block’s squares. The 6-inch HST has at least two bias edges. To provide stability to the HST pot, I stitched the three squares (under the pot area) into the block. Sikud purple highlights on this chart shows the seams I left unstitched until I added the HST pot. The ivory/gold fabric squares under the green HST pot keeps the area nicely stable.
