4-at-a-Time HSTs This can be a really slick way to quickly make 4 HSTs with very little waste. We've tried it out during some of our programs at Busy Bee Quilts with good success. Basically: Two fabric squares right-sides-together, sew 1/4" seam around all four edges, cut corner-to-corner 2x, press open & trim. Voila! 4 identical HSTs! If you use this method, be mindful that the HST edges will be cut along the bias - this can sometimes affect the assembly later on. |
