I've been trying very hard to only use scraps that have already been cut into usable sizes.
Orca Bay part 3 says make 350 half-square 2" sewn (1.5" finished) triangles...ok... Started off by using 2'" squares, creating one 2" block and one 1.25" extra block - that lasted until about 120 blocks. Then used 2.5" squares, creating two 2" blocks - only about 60 of those. Lastly used 3.5" squares, sewing around each side, and then cut diagonally in four, press, and trim up a little. (and I've lost count now...).

I don't yet have the rulers that Bonnie is using, but soon! Gosh, but I've struggled to get the photos where I wanted them, have now given up!
Please go back to

ReplyDeleteyour work is nice ! the last way to do the blocks is very interessant ! I've the ruler Bonnie Hunters wrote about, but I think I could like the square sewn all around ! I'll try this method to do pinwheels during my future hollydays ! have a nice time sewing- domy from La Reunion (near Mauritius island... so, near you !)
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat way to make the HST, four at a time, that must be a timesaver.
