About the design.
The Arete quilt is inspired by Aristotle’s concept “excellence,” representing the continuous pursuit of one’s highest potential in all aspects of life—intellectual, moral, physical, and creative. To live with arete is to align every effort with a deeper why, transforming our multidimensional lives into an overarching life purpose and more meaningful existence.
This bold, large-scale design is a quick project using traditional piecing—without the Y seams! Using only squares, rectangles, half-square triangles and half-rectangle triangles, you can stitch up your own multidimensional star design that is sure to make a statement.
Learn more about the Arete samples pictured.
New to HRTs? Get the Mastering HRTs on-demand workshop.
For extra guidance & confidence with half-rectangle triangles, add the Mastering HRTs Workshop. In this on-demand course, Brooke will pull the curtain back to demystify HRTs, going deep on what makes this unit unique, different methods for making HRTs, tips for accurate trimming, and even how to make your own HRT templates of any size. Access to your workshop never expires, so watch the videos as often as you like, or whenever you need a refresher. Post in the Thinkific course platform to get help if you get stuck.
