Half square triangles now called Triangle squares?
I just bought a new magazine and found tips on making triangle squares. new name for half square triangles evidently. I do wish they would stop changing things and stop making up new names like swoon blocks. i can't keep up. I still don't know all the measurements for pre-cuts yet.
i think the mag was fons and porters Love of Quilting.

That's funny because recently I was reading an older quilt book ('pre-computer/cutting mat/rotary cutter' days) and half square triangles were called something else. I'll have to see if I can jog my memory about where I saw that.

This is nothing knew for quilting.
Quilt blocks were known by many different names ... and even today, they have so many different names.
Eg. Churn Dash = Monkey Wrench = Hole In The Barn Door = ?
Eg. Apple Core = Axe Head = ??
So are you going to ask for history to be re-written?
