I make a great deal of 50 % Sq. Triangles. Have you recognized that a lot of of my Quiltblox patterns consist of them? There’s a terrific reason for that. 50 percent Square Triangles (HSTs) are so easy to make and they can be put together in practically endless approaches to produce exciting layouts.
Most designers work out the square dimension you need to slice by incorporating 1/4 inch to the beginning square dimensions. So … for a completed block sizing of 5 inches (5-1/2 inches unfinished), you would minimize a 5-7/8 inch square.
I want to lower the setting up squares a minimal more substantial to start with. Considering the fact that the blocks must be trimmed (or squared up) in any case, why not commence with a a little much larger, less complicated-to-slash sq.?
The math has currently been done – I’ve produced the chart down below for block sizes 2 inches up to 12 inches in 1/2 inch increments. This chart is the newest addition to my Quilt Math sequence of charts and guides – assisting you with some of that troublesome math.
Just click on on the image or the button down below it to open up the file and print out a duplicate.
The chart earlier mentioned is 1 example of the charts and guides I’m incorporating to the – QUILT MATH segment of this internet site, below the Study tab at the leading of any web page on the web site.
I have a couple of extra to incorporate, but several useful charts are incorporated in QUILT MATH correct now. You can print them out and have them useful for when you will need to refer to them. I hope you discover them to be as useful as I do!
