I am sure that most of you have seen this method of creating half square triangles, but perhaps those new to quilting have not. the pictures below, I hope, show how it is done very clearly. I made enough half square triangles for a full size quilt in one long afternoon - that includes cutting, sewing, ironing and squaring up the blocks.
two squares, right sides together, sewn on all four sides [ATTACH=CONFIG]118847[/ATTACH] cut on the diagonal [ATTACH=CONFIG]118849[/ATTACH] 4 half square triangles. [ATTACH=CONFIG]118850[/ATTACH] |
That's a good one. Pictures speak a thousands word...or how ever that saying goes ;-)

Just be careful they don't stretch since all your outside edges are on the bias.

Thank you for making this tute for us! :D:D:D |
How do you determine the square sizes for the blocks that you want to make? For instance, if I needed 6 1/2 inch half square triangles, what size would the two squares need to be?
