If you are "regular" rotary cutting, these blocks are made completely from 2 3/8" cut triangles. This quilt also used "bonus" 1/2 square triangle squares that I collected over time from doing the "place a square on top of another square or rectangle, and sew across the diagonal" dog-eared seams method, as described on my Star Struck Quilt page. I use both rulers equally for different projects. Both of these rulers create 1/2 square triangles by cutting from strips without having to use the "add 7/8" to the finished size" usual rotary cutting instructions. There are many ways that you can construct your 1.5" finished 1/2 square triangle om template cutting, to rotary cutting, to the use of foundation papers like "Thangles" or the use of special rulers like The Wondercut Ruler or the Easy Angle ruler by Ez International. The main unit for this quilt is a 1/2 square triangle square that finishes at 1.5" when it is sewn into the block. Not including the solid borders, this quilt contains 5,884 pieces!ĭid the desire to make this quilt ever strike you? Did the 'inset' squares scare you off? With this two block method, you can avoid inset seams and construct this quilt more easily than you thought possible. Not for the faint of heart, this quilt contains 2,124 half-square triangle units! The blocks are 6" finished, all the 1/2 square triangles finish at a tiny glittering 1.5". It took me 2 years on and off to piece this beauty.
