Voila!! Two HSTs, no bias edges!!!!
I always make mine a little larger and then trip to size using the sewn seam to square up with. !!
Totally agree.
The traditional formula is:
FINISHED of HST block + 7/8" = Size of starting squares.
I don't bother with eighths of an inch. :mrgreen:
Just add at least 1" (I usually add 1.25"-ish) to the FINISHED size, use the method as described by QuiltE, and you'll be golden.
Me too.
I would use one of the paper piecing methods - Thangles, Triangles on a Roll, etc -though if I had a hundred or more to do. ??? Or maybe not since I do have the Alto's QuiltCut2. Maybe I'd chain piece them all.
