You did it right on your EQ6.
Sorry I quoted the wrong quote. It was the one from barnbum. I have no center vision so it makes it difficult to read correctly.
Sorry about that.

You could use half square triangle foundation papers for the smaller triangles and then just starch the larger ones before cutting. It would be easy to make without too much worry over stretching the bias that way. Starch or sizing really helps me. Making the small HST's by sewing 2 squares together on the diagonal and then just adding the odd triangles wouldn't be too difficult either and again, starching your fabric first will help.

Here is a link to one that is very similar, just fewer rows of little HST. The one in your picture is beautiful, no wonder it caught your eye.

I wouldsplit the block in half, diagonally.
Paper piece the triangle section and then sew on the half square triangle. Repeat the other side, and then sew the 2 halves together.
I don't like little half square triangles either LOL.
This would easily print out in EQ :wink:

nursie--that one has MORE triangles. :shock: eek.
amma--I'm not a paper piecer... it's toooo scary. :lol:
I'm thinking I could make a block now and then from scraps...and just add to the pile until there's enough for a quilt.
