Last of the 1/2 Square Triangles

Trish has given out he last 2 handouts for the 1/2 square triangles. These are just a few of them she has done.

Susie completed 5 of them from last month. 

Chelsea decided not to do all 72 of them and this is her completed project. Nice job Chelsea!

Launching our Modern HST Quilt Along

A couple years back Knit n' Lit  hosted this same quilt along. She designed the 72 blocks to finish at 8 inches square, all made from 2 inch half square triangles. If you also plan to use this size, you will need 5 yards of colored fabric, and 5 yards of background fabric. The diagram shows the blocks two-toned but the options are endless!

Trish demonstrated different methods in mass producing half square triangles and showing how to use the Block Loc ruler. If you missed the demonstration or forgot, no worries, linked is a video tutorial! 

Below is the link to the reference sheet handed out at the meeting with patterns and pictures of each method.

Who's with us? If all 72 blocks are too much of a commitment, scale up and make a smaller quilt.  We would love to have you quilt along!
