What else would a quilting Hillary supporter make but a Hillary for President logo quilt block? Was a perfect half square triangle pattern to figure out for myself.
Sparky the Wonder Schnauzer guarding the Long Family Fort
I just played with it and made it up. It’s mostly a nine patch with a few half square triangles to make the arrow. I just played around to get it. No pattern – guess I should try for that!
Linda,
The red point of the arrow is actually more flying geese (flying goose if singular?) I had to fidget with it a bit to make it line up perfectly with the half square triangles that were red in the blue. I made it bigger, then cut it down to make the seams match. I may try to make a tutorial… you are inspiring me!
Lorraine, I think there are thousands of quilters who’ll be looking for a block like this to document this historic event. A tutorial would be very popular.
I made two blocks today and am so happy with them. Mine are 10″, and I used a QST for the arrow point.
This is beautiful – fantastic piecing and quilting!
Love your Hillary quilt. May I have your permission to use it as my FB profile pic? Thanks…
Sure! Can you share your FB link to me, too?!

Beautiful!
Making one of my own!
What a great time to get started! Historic day – glass ceiling broken!
This is wonderful! Is there any chance you’re going to sell the pattern or make it available otherwise? I MUST make this!

May I ask the overall dimensions? Is it a 10″ block? If so, I think I can figure out the math. Thanks for this–I’m going to have fun with it.
The point of the arrow is a quarter square triangle, right?

Thanks again for the inspiration!
Oh, and it’s about a 12 inch block finished.
Love it, will have to give it a try!
