half square triangle ?
basically I have
two 3 3/8 squares sewn together then split them through the middle to make a half square triangle unit What should the measurement be of the new half square triangle? the pattern directions omit this measurement. Diana in Dallas (not thinking very straight this morning)

jalynne
that is what I keep getting but then the pattern goes on to say join the 2 inch strip to the now finished half square triangle units.This is where I get confused shouldn't the strips be 2.5 if the hst are 2.5 Diana in dallas "Jalynne" wrote in message ... should be 2.5", if i do my calculations correctly.

You'd think so. That sounds odd. What pattern are you using?

Jalynne
the pattern is "The shining Star" by Debbie Maddy it was on simply quilts about two weeks ago. I printed out the pattern from HGTV site and also have the show on my TIVO. I just have not trimmed the HSTs. This quilt will be for my parents 50th wedding anniv if I can get it done for the celebration in October. Diana in Dallas "Jalynne" wrote in message ...

iirc....
when you make HST, you cut the starting sqs 7/8" bigger than the block will finish when sewn into the quilt. start with 2 7/8" for a 2" finished start with 3 7/8" for a 3" finished start with 3 3/8" for a 2.5" finished. this one will be 3" when made but before its sewn into the quilt. that 2" strip is bordering round the HST in shining star quilt pattern as i read it. so just cut it to match the length of HST after they are all sewn to one another. gorgeous layout by the way, they will love it. good luck and dont forget pix for us voyeurs on rctq. jeanne

The only reference I see to 2" strips is referring to the border.
