Utube on 1/2 square triangles...four at a time

Got this link off a facebook free quilt patterns page. I think I vaguely remember us talking about this once before, but thought I'd post it. If you don't care too much about the bias aspect...it's a quick easy way to make pinwheels or multiple 1/2 square triangles.

TMM, that's just why when I bought my fabric a couple of weeks ago from
Connecting Threads I bought 1-10" charm pack! I'm going to try this and add
to the squares and make a lap quilt. Pinwheel of course!

I also bought 5-5" charm packs! They were only $2.28 per pack! How could I
resist? I plan to make a patch work quilt with those and just tie it. Nothing
fancy.

Memaw those 10" charm packs, I was looking at some Friday afternoon in a quilt store, they are $43 starting price here and the charm packs start at $32 Oh boy you got a deal, woo hooo, Im so happy for you!

Golo just told me how to make pin wheel blocks like this yesterday, seeing it was cool too, now I want to sew not blanch beans!

TXmm that is my next project.... the one I just made was the disappearing 9 patch.... sew nine charms together and cut down and across the middle ... then twist and turn putting them pack together... I love these new ideas...

meemaw where did you get your charm packs so cheap.... I pay $8

Golo......I've seen the disappearing 9 patch......that's a wanna do for me!

Memaw....let us know how it works!!!!

You know I was just thinking about this way of doing the HST and it occured to me, if you laid the two charm squares right sides together, then stitched 1/4" down two opposite sides and cut down the middle you'd have fast units like Anita called Piano keys, pairs of 2 1/2" strips sewed together. Would be faster than the labourious cutting and then matching up then stitching I did on the fall panel last week

GOLO, I GOT THEM AT CONNECTING THREADS. RIGHT NOW THEY'RE HAVING

A FANTASTIC SALE. DON'T WAIT TOO LONG OR IT WILL BE OVER. NOT

MUCH OF A SELECTION ON FQ, F8's. CHARMS LEFT. GOOD LUCK.
