Making Half Square Triangles
Our London Sports pattern incorporates Half Square Triangles.
A quick pieced method is:
- Cut out two squares from the two different fabrics your required size and add 2.2cm (7/8") to this size e.g. for a finished size 15cm (6") square you need to cut out a 17.2cm (6 7/8") square.
- Place them right sides together and press into place and pin.
- Draw a line with a marking pen, pencil or chalk along the diagonal from the top corner to the bottom corner.
