It occurred to me the other day that there are several methods of creating half square triangles and we all have our favorites.  And- each one has its place depending on what we are making.
​
So I took some time this weekend to put together some "how to" guides for half square triangles.

These guides are below — 

Did you know that you can modify QuiltSandwich Yardage Calculator settings to cut oversized HST so you can use a square up ruler?

And sometimes I like to use the Two at a Time method.  This is what I call cutting a square, drawing the diagonal line and sewing on either side of it.  Now how big do I need to cut those square?

And what if I want to create HST using squares AND cut them oversized?  Just follow the instructions in the HST Square Up Ruler PDF.

QuiltSandwich is a very powerful tool that takes the mystery out of quilt math.  You can make anything you want, as big as you want, with just a few taps.  Check it out!
