Half square triangles (HSTs) can be created using numerous techniques, each varying in accuracy and bias seam management. Some methods generate HST units with substantial bias seams, while others minimise them.
In today’s tutorial, I’m excited to share one of my favorite techniques for efficiently producing HSTs, especially when I’m making a large number for a quilt project.
Let’s dive in!
I used this technique to create my quilt French Garden.
French Garden is a simple quilt pattern designed for confident beginners.
This quilt is made using traditional piecing techniques.
