there's half square triangle interfacing on the market you might want to check it out. i've never used the product but if i had a quilt with tons of triangles i would certainly look into using it.

here's a link

Again,
Thanks for the help!
I did it the way the directions called for.
I made squares, marked the diagonal and then sewed 1/4 on each side then cut.
The top is done and put together, waiting on borders.
Thanks again!!!

Wow, thanks Annie - what a brilliant site! I love that grid piecing method - will definitely try that the next time I want lots of HSTs!

Very well written.

I found her tip to add ONE WHOLE INCH to the finished size to be especially helpful - that's near the end of the tutorial.

It would be so much simpler to draw grids that way.

I always had skimpy finished squares when I added only the 7/8 inch to the finished size when I used the "draw a diagonal line on a square" method.

K--I know you have yours done, but here's another option I would like to give. There is a product called Triangles on a Roll and comes in 11 sizes. I think it is like Tada but it tears off like thangles. It is pretty thin so is pretty easy to tear off. They also have grids for other triangles. Here is a link:

It certainly appears to be more than one road to Rome.

try using the blue painting tape as it it easier to rip off when finished and doesn't seem to be as sticky

I am not a very accurate piecer, which is why I mostly do applique. But the method where you cut your squares a tad bigger and then sew your 1/4" seams is the way I do it. I also discovered the hour glass block last summer when working on the round robin. That was fun to do and I managed to do it fairly well if I say so myself! So I guess an old dog CAN learn new tricks! :lol: :lol:
