Easy and quick for me, using strips I've already got laying around!<br />Years ago I made a quilt with small tree-of-life blocks, with hundreds of tiny little HSTs needed. I drew grids of penciled squares on the backs of my lighter fabrics, divided like the triangle papers, then sewed and sewed and sewed. Lots of really accurate triangles, but boy howdy, wasgaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11629856023631651681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143452821962929299.post-8067828884775936632018-01-03T07:33:17.136-05:002018-01-03T07:33:17.136-05:00I've tried them all, too, and do like EZ Angle...I've tried them all, too, and do like EZ Angle. Many times I just do it the old fashioned way - cut squares 1" larger, slice them in half diagonally, sew, then trim to size. Seems most accurate for me as with the drawing lines diagonally my resulting HSTs are often off for some reason.

I've used the Magic Eight method and find it useful if I need LOTS of HSTs in the same colors - like for HST borders. The paper method is great if really concise stitching is needed. I used the papers for a block swap and I was really pleased with how perfect my HSTs came out.Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09365095115416468818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143452821962929299.post-33856119524658737252018-01-02T18:44:37.025-05:002018-01-02T18:44:37.025-05:00You converted me to the Easy Angle method...thank ...You converted me to the Easy Angle method...thank you, thank you, thank you.

That said, I usually make them whatever is suggested in the tutorial that I'm working with. I do prefer the line down the middle and with my Crescendo laser that's a little easier than it used to be.thatfabricfeeling.wordpress.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00207386494389486604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143452821962929299.post-32802030421138476912018-01-02T11:36:46.355-05:002018-01-02T11:36:46.355-05:00Laura at Slice of Pi skips the marking and uses a ...Laura at Slice of Pi skips the marking and uses a laser-guided system for making HST.

Too much work at the end picking off that paper. But I do love the Easy Angle ruler method. <br /><br />I did just use the "sew around outside" of a square method to turn a charm pack into pinwheels. It was quick, but you are so right about the bias edges.

Omnigrid makes a similar ruler and Bonnie Hunter's ruler functions much the same way. The secret to making these rulers work, though, is an accurate 1/4 seam.Libby in TNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13709701255260085505noreply@blogger.com
