One could cut the squares "on the diagonal" or "on point" and then sew them - then when cut, they would have "straight" edges

It works - the outside edges are a bit "stretchy" when sewing them - but not nearly as "stretchy" as when sewing triangles.

This is so cool! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the great idea! I have been quilting for about 7 years now and have never seen this way to make HST's.

I used this method to make 100 hst for a quilt I just finished. Took me about a hour. Yipee I just told someone else about this yesterday. Thanks for posting

From newbie inOK
thank you so much for the tip on the triangles. I have not had any classes, and no family or friends to help me learn how to quilt. I get all of my help and ideas here. :thumbup: |
