Here is the link for the half-square triangle tutorial.
http://www.wetcanvas.com/forums/showthread.php?t=590241 A 6" square will give you 2 1/2" HSTs, an 8" square will give you 3 1/2" HSTs, and a 10" square will give you 4 1/2" HSTs. Make sure you sew 1/4" from the diagonal lines only! |

That's a goody. Thanks!

Thanks for this. It's one of the neatest shortcuts I've ever seen. Please post a picture of your quilt when you finish it, it's going to be beautiful!
|
This is great. I had a quilt in mind but did not want to start it because of triangles but I will try this.
|
If an 8" square gives you 3 1/2" triangles, is that BEFORE you piece them into a quilt, or is that the actual size after they're in the quilt. Thanks for a wonderful link!
|
Thanks for the link. Need all the help i can get with triangles.
|
Just finished doing 16 of these yesterday, sure wish I would have had this tip. Next time I will know.
Thanks for sharing Have a Blessed day Ellen |

Probably dumb question but - What size would I make the big square in order to make 2-1/2inch squares (2in when sewn together)?? Looks easy, just not sure how to determine what size you end up with.
