QnT 2015 HST’s BRIGHT/WHITE #3

QnT 2015 HST’s #1 BRIGHT/WHITE #3

August 7, 2015 thru August 29, 2015

Half Square Triangle = 4 1/2” block with one side bright print, one side white print

2 partners each to receive 10 different 4 1/2” HST’s = total 20 HST’s made and sent

Start with two 5” print fabric charms (charms = a square cut of 100% cotton fabric, in this case 5”), one white (print or plain) charm and one bright print charm. Place the two charms right sides together. Using your ruler and a pencil, draw a straight line on the back of the white print from the upper left hand corner down to lower right hand corner. Stitch a scant ¼” seam either side of the pencil line. Cut on the pencil line. Press gently so as not to stretch the block. Trim the dog ears, and then trim the block to 4 1/2 inches using the center seam line as your base. Always trim and press for success.

The goal is to get as many different HST’s as possible but you may send the same set of HST’s to each partner. Be sure to make a set for yourself as well. The brighter the bright side the better.

Note: your white side can be plain white or a white on white print. Any questions or concerns are welcome, please PM me.

Look out, these blocks can be addictive!
