Can Brown be beautiful?

Jeni Baker at In Color Order is running a Block of the Month on her blog this year showing different ways of using Half Square Triangles to make a block. These are the first 10, only two more to go and then I can assemble them. I had these "bonus" HST left from a Bonnie Hunter project and just hope I have enough left for the remaining two months. Dylan liked his quilt enough he wanted to take it to school for show and tell. His Mom convinced him that a picture of him with his quilt would be a better choice.
It is Canadian Thanksgiving this weekend, so Happy Thanksgiving to those who might be celebrating.
I have a quilty week lined up with Kincardine Sunset Quilt Guild Wednesday and hopefully a shop hop Thursday and Friday. Piecefully, Joanne

    What a pretty variety of blocks all from the same shape. So glad you saved all those bonus blocks.

    Ohhh. I love all your brown blocks! What a great idea to use bonus blocks for this challenge. It will be a stunning quilt when you are done.

    What a great idea! I'm a big fan of HSTs and I love the idea of an HST "sampler". Plus, doing them in brown reminds me of a box of chocolates!
