Smile Four pairs of HST at once

I am happy to report that it worked. Using information from previously posts under 8 HST at a time. I tried using 4 different squares and one background large square. Wanted 3 inch finished HST. This time I began with an 8 inch background and 4 - 4 inch different squares. Folded the large square in fourths and the smalls diagonally press. Place right side to right side and stitch scant 1/4 in on either side. Rotary cut corner to corner and then horizontal and vertically. Still a faster way, when you need a lot of HST.

This did involve more trimming than using the 7-3/4 in squares, but worth the variation achieved IMO

That is great. I'll have to try it that way the next time I make half square triangles.

Perfect solution to something I regard as "not fun." Thanks, Judy!
