Each quadrant consists of 13 half-square triangles.
That is definitely a lot, right?
If you dont have a pile of HSTs, do not worry.
You do not have to do it one by one.
But you dont have to do it one by one with this method.
Jenny Doan will teach you how to make 16 at a time.
This quilt design is very easy to make and is suitable for beginners.
Sew all the way around the outer edge.
Cut in half diagonally in both directions.
Press them open and square them into 5 1/2 squares.
Step 2:
Get one colored square and one background square.
Place them on top of each other, right sides together.
Draw a line in the middle, vertically and horizontally.
Sew all the way around the outside edge.
Next, sew on both sides of the drawn lines.
Cut directly on top of the drawn lines.

You will get 16 half-square triangles.
Square them into 3 squares.
