These half square triangle quilts go together really easy. Start by taking two 8 1/2 inch squares and placing them right sides together. Next,  draw a diagonal line across the squares (opposite corners).  Then sew on both sides a quarter inch away from the line. Next, cut on the diagonal line that was drawn. Open up both halves, press and trim. The finished half square size is 7 1/2 inches. You can use any size you want, but if you want a quick, easy quilt, this size works pretty well. I have another one that just needs quilted. Hopefully I can get that one done this week as well.
