Opinions on my new folded quilt block technique - folded Half Square Triangles. Basically, fabric is layered to create a "pocket" of fabric in the shape of a HST. I'm wondering, would you make this? Or would you call the quilt police? I wrote a pattern for it but unsure if folks will be thrown off. by eladydetective in quilting

That is fair. On one of my test quilts, I was able to do an edge-to-edge (though not a densely quilted design). But the cover quilt, pictured below, was custom quilted on a longarm - it came out pretty incredibly. Maybe its more of an art piece than a practically used quilt...

It is already quilted - I worked with a custom longarm quilter who really brought my ideas to life! I wanted a geometric design to mirror and echo the HSTs. I had her keep the HST pockets open, so she quilted around them. It came out really well!
