HST method
I am sure this has already been addressed many times but I can not seem to find it ----------I want to make hst using the method where you sew all four sides of square the cut on diagonals. I need them 4.5 in unfinished. Can anyone give the correct size of square to use. I need to make lots and this seems the fastest. I can't use my triangulations right now as no printer ink and no $$ to get any. Thank you for any help. Happy quilting.

Try 11" and trim to size.

this would be seams from corner to corner on the diagonals. Then cut on the center across and up and down resulting in 8 hst's

It's a fast method, but you wind up with all bias edges, so handle them gently!

Wait a minute that method leaves you with bias edges.
The best way to make 8 at a time is Eleanor Burns way. For 4 1/2 in HSTs use two squares 10 in. Draw and x and sew 1 /4 in on both sides. Cut block in half both ways then on lines. No bias edges but you will need to square up. Her triangle square up ruler is a must have and you only make one cut to square up. Fast and accurate. For 2 1/2 in use 6 in squares, 3 1/2 use 8 in. |
