The Quilting Apps - Half Square Triangles

Find fabric requirements and cutting instructions for any size Half Square Triangle units using the Two At A Time and Eight At A Time piecing methods. Check out the video below to see how to make HST using these methods and more.

I suggest using a scant 1/4" seam allowance when using either of these methods.

NOTE: Remember it takes 2 squares to make HST with these methods. The results you get are for one of the HST fabrics. You will need to get the same amount of fabric for the second set of squares.
