How to make a striped HST
I'm working on a pattern that requires a striped HST. What is the best way to do that? I made one and used Fons & Porter's HST ruler to cut out the triangle but it was an extreme waste of fabric as I couldn't use the "tails" formed between each triangle. Am I doing something wrong or is there a better way?

It depends on how the stripe is oriented and if you are aiming to match up the stripes in adjacent units. For many of the quilts I make I do have to fussy cut and accept that there will be waste between triangles.
If matching stripes is not an issue, just cut a square in half diagonally. No waste.

this is for flying geese but the same premise works for hst's from directional prints http://www.instructables.com/id/How-...ctional-print/

Here's the striped triangle I made for a HST. Sewed my 2 fabrics together to make a strip and then cut it using Fons & Porter triangle ruler. Is there a better way?
