How to Sew a Quarter Square Triangle

Join Us For Tuesday Threads

It’s Tuesday Thread,  where I am breaking down quilting techniques one stitch at a time!

Join us Each Tuesday
Today, is the quarter square triangles, those clever little pieces that add movement quilt blocks. Sometimes called hourglass units, these triangles are made by combining two half square triangles and then slicing again. They’re perfect for stars, pinwheels, and any design that needs a touch of symmetry and flair.
I am taking the mystery away and showing you how to do it easily.
We have made a square, a triangle and some basic quilt info.  NOW it’s time for some FUN quilt block patterns. Don’t over think these, just step by step.

The Quilt Ladies teach you how to quilt.
Cut 2 squares, 1 each color – your squares needs to be cut 1 ¼” larger than the
finished size you need,

On lightest color on the back, pencil mark from corner to corner.
Sew ¼” from the line, on each side of the line.
With scissors cut on each of the 2 lines, open up, move the match colors, pin and sew you will have 2 blocks

How to Mend an Old Quilt

Make a Template and Pick Fabrics

A few weeks ago, I showed Husbands fishing quilt, and was asked about an older post I did a few years ago, found it and here it is.

(Revised)
I’m always on the look out for old quilts and IF I think I can save them I purchase.
They have to be washable and usable, nothing better, no matter the temperature is a quilt to cuddle in. This is(was) a recent purchase !

How to fix and old quilt by hand stitching it

There are 3 blocks that needed attention, 
I ALWAYS wash quilts before I mend, this one turned out 
VERY nice, they usually do !
