Block # 2 – Half Square Triangles
Materials
8 4” background squares
8 4” coloured squares (2 of each colour for my design)
Instructions.
1. On the wrong side of each background square draw a diagonal line from one corner to the opposite corner.
2. Lay each background square on top of coloured square (right sides together) so you have 8 pairs.
3. Sew ¼” inch from the line on you background square. Repeat for all squares.
4. Take each of the squares and sew ¼” on the opposite side of the line from your first seem.
5. Cut each set of squares on the line you drew and press open to make 16 total HSTs.
6. Trim each HST to 3.5” square.
7. Arrange the squares and sew into row, then attach the rows together.
Note: you can arrange the squares anyway you like, here are a few ideas from other bloggers:
