Half Square Triangles (HSTs) are one of those essential quilting building blocks—you’ll find them in everything from traditional quilt designs to modern layouts. In this quick tutorial, I’ll show you my favorite method for making HSTs two at a time. It’s simple, beginner-friendly, and a great way to make accurate blocks without a lot of fuss.
✨ Watch the step-by-step video tutorial below!
What You’ll Need:
-
Two squares of fabric (the same size)
-
Fabric marking tool
-
Quilting ruler
-
Sewing machine
That’s it! In just a few steps, you’ll have two HSTs ready to trim and use in your next project.
If you try this method, I’d love to see what you make—tag me on Instagram @remivailstudio so I can cheer you on!
Happy quilting,
