Info needed for making @ 100+ HST
#23
I used triangulation CD and it saved my sanity making a sampler that required templates.........ugh. Once you buy the CD (about $40 I think) you can print all sizes in 1/16th" increments up to the size of a computer paper. Love the continuous line sewing too, as it saves time.

One of the best purchases I ever made was the software program Triangulations. Forevermore, I can cut HST in any size by just pushing a print button...it also includes patterns for flying geese and more. Here's a link...you'll never regret it! https://www.bearpawproductions.com/s...php?cat=1&ID=2

I made almost 300 HST with a finished size of 1-1/2"with the method I saw in Fons & Porters Quilting Quickly magazine. Cut 2 squares of fabric, one of each of the fabrics that will make up the HST. The size of the square is determined as follows: double the size of the finished HST and add 1.75" example: a 2" finished HST would require a 5.75" square. Draw diagonal lines in X formation. Sew 1/4" on both sides of lines. Cut apart blocks vertically on center of square followed by cutting horizontal through the center. Try and keep the blocks together and cut on diagonal lines. You have 8 HST. I figured out how to multiply the size of the square so I could make 32 at one sitting. I did size them all up so they were spot on and the dog ears were gone especially because they were so small.
