I like short cuts. That is why I have always loved Eleanor Burns system of Quilt in a Day. So when I saw this method of doing half square triangles I had to give it a try.
Ok, so these are 10" squares. Right sides together.
Sewn all the way around.
Cut on the line in both directions.
And there you have it. Four HST already sewn together.
Which I made into a pinwheel.
This makes a 13" square.
Yay for short cuts!

Thank you for posting this here on your blog. I want to try making something quilt-like but I feel I have obstacles like lack of talent for choosing/combining fabrics, simple math and sewing straight! I still want to try though and I like this shortcut and the look of your block too.
I love shortcuts too.
that's a great short cut for pinwheel's!
