Half Square Triangle Quilt (HST)

My niece Nicole will be graduating from high school this spring. It is her turn for a quilt. I hope she likes it. She is bright, and fun with her own style so I hope this quilt reflects that uniqueness.

13.5" blocks with a 5" border

Now for a name? What do you suggest?

A One Piece Rag Quilt

I laid out about 8 layers of fabric some were even in several pieces alternating light and dark. Quilted diagonal lines about an inch apart, cut through all but the backing and then bound. I bound with the same fabric as the backing but cut on a bias so there would be some lovely diagonal lines.
8 is a bit much but I was trying to use up some fabric that I wouldn't have used otherwise. It has made for a really heavy crib quilt which is actually really great since both my kiddos love weight on them, just like I do.
My son likes to sleep with the ruffle side down so that the soft side is closer to him. Kids!
