I have a wonderful pattern for doilies. It uses HSTs and doilies cut in half.
1. Pick two squares you want to use for the HST and cut them in half on the diagonal.
2. Cut a round doily in half and sandwich the two squares with the doily in the center, cut edges in line.
3. Sew a 1/4" seam along the cut edge, open and press to the side that will have the doily showing its right side.
4. My pattern calls for them to be set on point and the effect looks like scalloped lace
I'll get back to you. It is a cool pattern.
peace
EDIT: It is called Lace & Lemonade from McCalls Quilting, July 2004
I did a search and the magazine only stores issues back to 2008
