Making HSTs from Templates:

If you want to create several HSTs at once you can try my new tip:

http://carterquilter.wordpress.com/2009/05/13/how-to-make-lots-of-hsts-my-first-tip/

Put fabric squares right sides together.Pin template on top.

Sew on the colored lines. (Make your stitch smaller. I use 1.8)Cut on the black lines.

Sewing and cutting accurately on the lines will yield perfect HSTs.. the only trimming needed is for the triangle “ears”.

Tearing the paper tip: Hold the corner of the triangle and start tearing from the center part. (if you start tearing from the corners it can rip out some stitches.)

I like to max out my templates when making HSTs and build up my scrappy HST stash with the extras.

HST Directions: All HSTs will measure 3.5” unfinished (3” finished)

(Please note the cutting needed to make your HSTs. My pattern assumes you are using Triangle Magic templates. If you are using a different method please cut accordingly.)

1. Cut (2) Templates into fourths.

Quilt top with first border. The solid gold border was striped fabric in my quilt.


Step #12: Add second border.

A. Borders.Make (4).

(9) Leaf print 5.5” blocks.(8) Green 5.5” blocks(2) 3.5” by 5.5” green blocks (one sewn to each end)

Two of these are the side borders. Sew to units to the quilt sides.Press in either direction.

B. Top and Bottom BordersTake the remaining (2) borders and add a 5.5” leaf print block to each end.

Press the two leaf end blocks to the center of the quilt.Press the rest of the blocks in either direction.

Sew the top and bottom borders to the quilt.Press to the borders.


C. Press your (4) 1” by 102.5” gold rectangles in half wrong sides together. These are a flat piping type accent around the edge of the quilt.

They are sewn on top of the final border and do NOT add any more inches to the size of the quilt.

Sew (2) to either side. The pressed edge is closer to the center of the quilt.

Sew (2) to the top and bottom. The pressed edge is closer to the center of the quilt.

TIP: When using this type of accent it is important to sew the binding to the FRONT of the quilt first and hand sew the binding on the back.

You might also want to sew this accent on after the quilt is quilted. That is a personal choice.


Your quilt top is finished and ready for quilting and binding.Mine will have a striped purple/green/red and gold binding cut on the bias. I will post a photo when it is finished.
