I want to make a chevron quilt. Which is better: the chevron quilt made with half square triangles or the made with with strips?

Thanks for your input!

I've done hst's myself. not sure of strips.

The triangles you have to watch the bias edges. I think the one made from rectangles would be easier.

I'm making one using HST. I like to cut my HST bigger and trim them down to square them up.

I'm not really great at doing HST so I made a baby quilt from this free pattern http://crazymomquilts.blogspot.ca/20...ithout_30.html

This looks so much easier than using HSTs. I have some fabric that is begging to be made in to a Chevron quilt and I am going to use this method. Thanks for posting.

I followed the MSQC tutorial to make this one http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...s-t234221.html

I also used this method for a baby quilt http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...n-t258210.html I found it easy to do.

I used very large HSTs (6 or 6 1/2 inches each, I don't remember exactly). But I wanted my Chevrons to be large. I did the two HSTs from a square where you don't cut them apart until after you sew the diagonal seams and it turned out great!!

Attached is a pic of the finished quilt.

I did both one right after the other, then wrote up my experience here:

I prefer the 1/2 square triangle method and will use that on future chevron quilts.
