Who knew my printer would print on both sides!! It's finished. Yea....used blue and black but I didn't run out.

Threaded Quilting just finished a quilt along for her FS quilts. Check out her blog and Instagram account....tons of inspiration. The free pattern was nicely written, so I too piurchased a larger pattern...mine is stored on my iPad though...that’s a lot of printing! :)

sewn half square triangles, and yes, they are already sewn together for you. Just a suggestion.

While this is an effective way to make HST units I don't recommend it due to all your outside edges being on the bias. If you need to make many HST you are much better off doing the grid method, like this: https://quiltsbyjen.ca/how-to-make-h...s-with-a-grid/

If you use Terial spray on your fabric before cutting bias edges will not stretch. I cut a lot of shapes from scraps and sometimes I have to place the ruler at funny angles to get the whole shape to use the scrap piece.
