Disappearing Half Square Triangles
Half-Day Workshop
9 am - 12 pm, Friday, February 27
Let's dive into the wonderful world of quilt blocks and unleash our creativity with a simple yet ingenious technique! We'll start with the humble half-square triangle, a staple in quilting, and transform it into a captivating and complex-looking block with surprising ease.
Here's the secret: by strategically cutting and rearranging the half-square triangles, we can create a visually stunning block that belies its simple origins. With just a few simple steps, you'll be amazed at the intricate design we can achieve!
Don't let the complexity fool you - these blocks are easy to accomplish, and you'll be crafting intricate quilt blocks in no time. You'll come back to these techniques again and again!
All Levels
Required class kit, $15 payable to the instructor in class, includes the workshop pattern.
Students to Provide
In this class, we’ll explore 3 different ways to make “disappearing” half-square triangles! We’ll create all three blocks in class.
For each method, you’ll bring two sets of half-square triangles (4 half-square triangles total).
For HST Flip, cut (2) 10” squares from one fat quarter. From background fabric, cut one strip of fabric 10” x width of fabric. Sub-cut (2) 10” squares. Pair each solid (or print) 10” from the fat quarter with a background square. Make (4) HST units using the “Two at a Time” Method. Don’t know how to do that? Know worries – I made you a video: go to heatherkojan.com and look under the “tutorials” tab. Click on the link to the video! Trim all HST units to 9 ½” square.
For Delectable Mountains, cut one strip of background fabric 10” x width of fabric, then cut the strip into (4) 10” squares. Take (2) 10” square prints and (2) background squares and make (4) HSTs as above.
For Two Color Collage, cut each 5/8 yard of fabric into (2) 10” x width of fabric. Sub-cut into 10” squares. Take 2 squares of each color and make (4) HSTs as above.
Materials:
Fabric Requirements are for quilt tops only. Complete patterns will be provided in class. All these quilts are block based, so can be made larger or smaller, depending on how many blocks you make.
