Playing with half square triangles

by thornberry

There were twelve squares left over from the charm pack I used to make Clare’s charm squares skirt.  So I decided that it was time to learn a little more about pattern.  I matched each of them with a neutral solid homespun, and sewed up half square triangles.  Then I headed over to my “design wall” (aka bit of wadding blu-tacked to the cupboard door) and started to arrange and rearrange.  This is where I need your help – which placement should I use?

Option 1:
half square triangles - option 1

Option 2:
half square triangles - option 2

Option 3:
half square triangles - option 3

Option 4:
half square triangles - option 4

Option 5:
half square triangles - option 5

Option 6:
half square triangles - option 6

Option 7:
half square triangles - option 7

Option 8:
half square triangles - option 8

Option 9:
half square triangles - option 9

And finally, Option 10: (arranged by Clare)
half square triangles - option 10

The final product will probably be a table runner.

So please let me know which one I should go with! I don’t even have a favourite at this stage.
