I'm glad I check though. I was unhappy with how my Bermuda Seaglass quilt looked on the bed.
I think we have an extra tall/thick mattress...that or I just like quilts to hang down further on the sides than what the quilt books do!
So I pulled out some more bits from the scrap piles...amazing how old some of these are! Have to admit it is hard to use up the last little bit of some of these.
Fun shirtings are difficult to find in my area and my stash of these is getting very small...I remember a few years ago I could run up to Mary Jo's in Gastonia and they had an entire row of shirtings...no more!

Ouch--19 more blocks? But, of course, you will be glad you did. But those Ocean Waves blocks are no quick finish, and yep, that is a lot of HSTs!!
It is hard to use up the last of favorite fabrics. I have taken to saving scraps and making little pieced ornaments for my tree so I always have a little bit to keep. : )
I am in the midst of making an ocean waves myself so I understand about the HST!! What size are you using? I have more than I need in many different sizes, I'll be happy to send you some reproduction ones if I have any the correct size.
Those are great shirtings. I think they have always been hard to find in my area. Good luck on getting all those extra blocks made---doesn't sound too bad.
Definitely a lot of HST, but it will be worth it! Love the kitty conversation print - so cute!
urgh for the ongoing quilt - always so much nicer when you count and whee I've made extra. I know there are some shirtings getting made but not cool conversationals.
You already sewed a ton of half square triangles and now you need more! And a lot more. You will speed through them.
Why, 1998? That's "just the other day" isn't it? LOL! I have lots of golden oldies, too, in my stash. So glad that you measured first for the right size because of course the quilting shrinks it up a bit, too.
I have those kitties!
