What can YOU make from 4-patch & ½ square triangles?
#11
For quite a while I’ve been intrigued with the number of blocks that are made from the humble 4-patch and half-square triangle (HST). If you can conquer these two building blocks, you have lots of layout options open to you. And, depending on whether you do a planned placement of fabric for value and color, or go scrappy, all these quilts can look quite different from each other.
Here are some of the patterns I’m aware of, and a link to pictures. Often the same layout has different names, depending on the quilt maker.
What other patterns come from 4 patch and HST? Show a picture or link if you can to help us see what you’re talking about.

You'll find more patterns than you can imagine.
Traditional quilts are by far combinations of HST and squares.
