Iris, Would you have meant that you use an 1 1/2 or 2 1/2" x 8" strip for the center of each square? I'm pretty sure you didn't mean just 1/2" as it would not show after taking our 2 seams. I can't guess by looking how wide that center strip is.
Hugggggs and smilessss and thanks for sharing!

To go to it again, select "My Bookmarks" from the headings at the top of each page, and it will open a list of the pages you have bookmarked. Click the title of the one you want to see again, and it will take you to that page.
As far as I know you can repost photos in more than one thread. I have done so and no one has said anything to be about not doing it.
Hugs, smilessss, and good luck.

You start with a 6 inch square of fabric, then cut in half diagonally to make two triangles. Stitch these on either side of a 1/2 inch strip (about 8 inches long or so) and iron it. Using the acrylic ruler, trim the square to 6 inches, aligning the diagonal line on the ruler with the center of the strip. Repeat the process for however many squares you want. (I find a baby quilt usually takes 6 rows of 8 squares i.e. 48 squares). It is a great way to use scraps and I usually just make some squares
when I have leftover fabric and put the squares in a box. When the box is full, I make the quilt (unless of course I forget all about it and then it becomes a UFO!!!
It is a great quilt for children! Happy quilting!! :D

One more off the list UFO/WIP list.
DH's Birthday lap quilt finished with 3 days to spare.
Patriotic Charms.
Now 1 more to go and that's going to be a Pill. I may have to rip apart the entire thing & it's king size. I have all the rows apart.. but I may have to do the rest too UGH.
