I was in a half square triangle swap once and I didn't pay attention to how many squares I was to make for the swap, later found out that it was only 60 2 1/2" squares.
I made 400. lol 3 quilts later I finally used them all up. :roll:
This quilt is a queen size and used up about 200 of the half square triangles. I also made twin and crib size.
