Last week’s prompt for the SAHRR was “Triangles”. Now in quilting, there are lots of types of triangles…

• Half-Square Triangle (HST): Formed by cutting a square diagonally from one corner to another, resulting in two right triangles. When these triangles are sewn together along the diagonal, they create a square block with a diagonal seam.

• Quarter-Square Triangle (QST): Made by cutting a square into four smaller triangles, usually by cutting it diagonally twice. These triangles are then arranged and sewn together to form a larger square block.

• Flying Geese: Comprised of a larger triangle (the “goose”) and two smaller triangles (the “sky”). The smaller triangles are sewn onto opposite sides of the larger triangle, resembling the shape of a flying bird.

• Equilateral Triangle: All three sides of this triangle are of equal length, resulting in three 60-degree angles.

• Isosceles Triangle: This triangle has two sides of equal length and two equal angles opposite those sides.

• Scalene Triangle: All three sides of this triangle have different lengths, and all three angles are different.

So Burton and I had to decide what triangles we wanted to use, and how…

After much back and forth, and sketching on our graph paper, we finally settled on a design.

So we made some triangles

Half Square Triangles for the win! And to tie this round in with the rest of our quilt, we made some hearts too.

And then we got to sewing them together.

Burton was super excited about how it turned out, and I have to say, I agree with him. I’m just loving it so far.

The top is 50″ square now. There are three rounds left, so it still has some growing to do!
