Mary posted this picture of her friend Anne's quilt a short time ago and I couldn't get it out of my mind! I knew it was only a matter of time before I had a go at it, though I didn't know what form it was going to take. I could see that it was made from HSTs, something I generally produce like a virus. After I finished Good Morning Starshine, I put together a couple of baby quilt tops using the batik scraps and Kona snow. I ended up with a bunch of extra HSTs from trimming the blocks. And over the weekend, I knew exactly what to do with them! I'd put them up on the wall in the pattern, but in random order, and liked them very much. But I wasn't sure about that random order. Then it hit me: they needed to merge from one into the next. Like DNA.
So, friends, here is DNA, as far as it goes. My HSTs aren't anywhere near as large as Anne's. Mine finish at 2". I need to put some more white around it and then some sort of a border and then it will be yet another baby quilt.
But so far? I'm lovin' it just the way it is.
