Fast & Easy HST's, 4 at a time

This is a fast fast easy easy way to make 4 half-square triangles in one go, with no fuss.

Place 2 squared fabric pieces right sides together and sew all around the square. My squares here are 9 X 9 inches.

Prepare to cut on the diagonal from corner to corner.


Be sure to align the ruler from stitched corner to corner.


Cut :)



Cut one of the triangles along the Red Line I photoshopped onto the picture. In real life, just use your ruler and cutting mat lines.


Open.

Repeat with the other triangle.
Open them all, finger-press or iron and arrange as desired , here as a pinwheel.



There - 4 fast and easy easy easy HST's with no fuss - no chain piecing, no drawing, no double line sewing.
