8 HST at one time
 

I thought this was interesting. From two 9" squares she makes 8 HST's. http://sewmamasew.com/blog2/2013/01/...s-8-at-a-time/

I bought this tool for marking the fabric to make these. It saves a lot of time and all the sizes are on the tool. Some guild members thought it was foolish to buy but now they ask to borrow it. That really irks me.

Now this and the tool caught my interest. Thank you for sharing. Take care.

awesome tool........ easy enough to do with out tool... but the tool would be an an awesome reminder for sizing

Thanks!!!!!!

I don't remember where I first saw this method. I remember doing this only on a larger scale back in the 80's.I had forgotten about it though.

That is really cool!! This method is going to save me some time in the future for sure!!!!!

Great idea; great tool, and great brackets quilt! Thanks for sharing, Tesspug and Bellaboo!

I think this method would serve our charity quilt group very well - maybe more of our half-square triangles would 'play' together better if we all used this method ...

I like making them slightly large and squaring up because they are always perfect.
This is Eleanor Burns method for making 8 at a time also.
With her triangle square up ruler you only make one cut to square up and does that save time.

Thanks, tesspug I have used that method but only to make the 4 blocks-bigger HST's-out of one 9 inch block
