Learn how to make 8 Half Square Triangles at one time using 2 squares of fabric!

This simple quilting tutorial video will show you how to calculate what size your starting squares need to be for Magic 8 Half Square Triangle Quilt Blocks, and will also show you my trick for not distorting HSTs when they're sewn on the bias.

Half Square Triangles are an easy, basic quilt block and great for beginners! The foundation of many patchwork designs, HSTs can be perfect in a modern quilt, or something more traditional! Be on the lookout for my upcoming Solitaire Quilt Pattern which features this 8-at-a-time HST method. The pattern will be released on Sept. 24th. www.homemadeemilyjane.com/shop
