I've been wanting to try log cabin piecing in a different shape for awhile- thanks for giving me the chance with this challenge, Mom U!

What else does one do during a blizzard in Fargo other than make things out of shrunken sweaters?

Quilt Challenge #3

The challenge:
Half-Square Triangles + shower bottle colors

• Use (ONLY) the half-square triangle block, in any size(s) you want: http://quilting.about.com/od/quickpiecingtechniques/ss/halfsquaretria.htm

• FABRIC: any prints, solids whatever you want, but to define your color scheme, choose one of the bottles currently in your shower (shampoo, conditioner, body soap, etc.), and use only colors found on that one bottle.

• As usual, create a 'baby' size quilt
