1 partner 15 different 4 1/2” HALF SQUARE TRIANGLE blocks to your partner

I want to make a Christmas table runner using Half Square Triangles and wondered if anyone would be interested in swapping some?

Using one plain red or one plain green or one plain white 5” square and one 5” square of Christmas print fabric put the right sides together (the pretty sides) draw a diagonal line from one upper corner to the opposite side lower corner. Sew ¼ inch on either side of drawn line and when finished cut on the drawn line. Press each half square triangle block neatly then trim (square it up) to 4 1/2”. Do this 15 times and send 15 blocks to your partner and keep the 15 matching blocks for yourself.

I learned a long time ago that it is always good to start with a little bit bigger cut of fabric than you want your blocks to end up so that you can trim (square it up) after sewing. That is why we are starting with a 5” square of fabric.

Note: You may use any one Christmas print three times, once with a red side, once with a green side and once with a white side but do not send your partner two blocks exactly alike. I think it will be nice to get a variety of blocks rather than too many alike.

Questions or concerns are welcome so please post below or PM me.

If we have enough interest we will do this swap a total of 3 times before December so we will have time to finish our projects before Christmas. We will swap again in October and November as well.

Enjoy and Happy Swapping!
