Easy half-square triangle quilt by Moda

A few weeks ago, I decided to put a sewing machine up on our dining room table so that I could be closer to our Penny-pup.  She is a 9.5 year old Bullmastiff.  She was diagnosed a couple months ago with bone cancer and can't get up and down our stairs anymore.  My regular sewing room is upstairs.  But, the dining room is on our main floor and not too far from where she sleeps.

(Bone biopsy was done to diagnose the cancer)

 

(yep, nutcracker is still hanging out lol)

 

 

I used a layer cake that has been sitting in my stash for a few years.

 

 

 

...and a white on white tiny swiss dot that was also in my stash for awhile.

 

I layed the fabrics pretty sides together, drew a pencil line diagonally across the backside or the background fabric.

 

I then chained sewed the squares, 1/4" on both sides of the diagonal pencil line.

 

I used this layout, a free Moda pattern called "Moda Love"

Here is my version with a small border added

 

 

This was a real quilty-mojo starter!  It was easy and fast!

There are times when I'm just not in a quilty mood.   I've probably got my hands/fingers in another crafty pie.  I do, find though, that working on an EASY quilt project will get my quilty juices flowing again. =)

 

How about you?  Do you ever need an EASY project to kinda get you back in the swing of things?
