27 Stunning Half Square Triangle Quilt Layouts 

This video is fantastic! Thanks so much for making and sharing it!

This is by far one of the best videos I've seen that shows the versatility of HST's. Thank you for your time and efforts!

UNBELIEVABLE!!! Thank you for a great tutorial.

Honestly, This is one of the best quilting videos for beginners. Brilliant that you had the idea to show how many different designs you can do with HST in this manner. Well done and thank you!!

Amazing! Wow! Well done!

Thank you for all the various design layouts for HSTs. I liked each one better than the previous … hard to choose a favorite. Bonus was the fact that you used the colors of our college - South Dakota State University. Now I’m getting ideas for making a couple stadium blankets for when we attend those outdoor sporting events. Go Big, Go Blue, Go Jacks! (SD State Jackrabbits)

Thanks. That was so much fun. 🎉

I am blown away by this! Thank you so much for taking the time to show us all these different variations ❤❤❤❤❤

I love seeing all the different layouts. Thank you. 😊

My fave out of these is Twinkling Star!

Thank you so much for this video. I inherited a full basket of HST with at least 4 each of various fabric and backgrounds, I have been stumped what to do with them, since background fabrics (light side) are all different. I saw at last 2 or 3 layouts that would work with what I have. I am so excited- I have had these for 15 years since my mother passed away and now I can use them and think of her while I am sewing them together & I will also think of you.

This is definitely the best tutorial for half square triangles. Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks.

Excellent tutorial! Thank you for all your inspiration. I was a little overwhelmed with trying to find something, but now I have a "few" ideas. Thanks so much .

Thank you, Claudia, what fun and inspiring to watch!

I never knew, that it could lay out so many ways, love them all. Thanks.

WOW! This was awesome! I had no idea you could make SO MANY different patterns🥰

WOW!!! That was amazing! I had no idea that many shapes could be made out of HST.

Thank you for sharing I love the possibilities

Thank you so very much for all the layouts! Time to get busy making these half-square triangles and have some fun!

Thank you for sharing! Such a versatile block

You're AMAZING ❤

Excellent study of the hst block. Great guitar music. The process of creativity can expand and grow in amazing patterns. Thanks.

OMG so many layouts/patterns! How in the world do you remember them all? It's amazing just how many stunning designs can be made with such a simple little square.

I love the versatility of HST blocks! Thanks so much for sharing these designs. Time to play!

Thanks for putting this together for people like me that had no idea you could make that much with with a Half square triangle

Let me add another "WOW"! to your comments. That was really fun to watch, but there's no way to miss how much work was involved in creating this video. My head was literally spinning by the end. I recently tried to make a wall hanging using Moda's version of the "Carpenter's Star". Making it row by row with one finger on the diagram and little pencil numbers all over the place, I still got it WRONG and to this day I can't figure out why. My hat's off to you on getting the majority of these layouts right! Thanks for sharing!!

Great video - can’t wait to experiment!

Also loved the Twinkling Star - will try it in a doll quilt next! I recently learned another way to create half-square triangles that eliminates marking: place 2 squares together, sew 1/4" seam all around the layered block edges - then press - then rotary cut on both diagonals. Open & press. Then square up.

Absolutely incredible Claudia!! Thank you so much for this. I especially love the way you sew the triangles before you cut and get the two blocks. Magnificent!

Love this! I was looking for a simple block, I can’t believe all the different patterns you can make. Now I need to decide which I like best. Thank you

Fantastic!! Thanks a lot for sharing!!!

Watching assemble the various layouts way the most satisfying thing I’ve done all day (and I had a great day)! Thank you so, so much for putting this video together!

Thank you sooo much for this!!! Can easily create a beautiful project simply based on easy hst’s.

Thank you so much. This something I return to again and again for inspiration!

Love your tutorials. Thank you for your time

Absolutely amazing!Best video ever for a beginner!

Excellent! Thanks for giving plenty of great images and the names for each combination. I like that you pack a lot of information into a video with a minimum of jabber.

WOW, I love that twinkling star one!

Thank you for this wonderful tutorial! So helpful

Brilliant thank you so much for your help. As a quilt novice this will really help me to decide what layout to use. From jane in Wales in the UK

This video is amazing. Thank you for making it. I cannot begin to imagine the time it took to make.

Had a couple I haven’t seen before! Very cool!

This was great!!! Thank you Claudia😊

This showed me so much.Thank you.

Brilliant! Thank you so much.

Absolutely fantastic!!!!!!

I did the fractured bullseye and am so pleased with how easy it was, how quickly it came together and how pretty the finished project is. Now I will try other patterns since I have lots of squares that I can turn into HSTs. Thank you for all the ideas!

I love all the layouts that you demonstrated and just in time for a couple of quilts I am doing. Thank you!

So AWESOME! Educational! Entertaining! Such a lot of work for you! Thank you so much. I ❤️❤️❤️❤️ HST’s too.

This is an awesome layout of the triangles! I love the different looks, been looking for this type of video and thank you for making it!

Love it! Thank you.

Thank you so much for this video!!! I found the perfect layout for a baby quilt!

Love this video. I paused and did screen shots of most of them so I can easily look at my favorites and figure out which one to do. I just finished 44 blocks 8.5 inches and just couldn't figure out how I want to put them together. There are so many great ideas. Thank you.

This is just awesome..Thank you so much.

Wow! Several layouts I hadn't seen b4. TY

This is soooo helpful. Thank you so much!

Looks like so much fun. I'll have to make some hst's and play with them. Thank-you.

Hi from South Africa 🇿🇦 thank you for this detailed video. I've watched many people make so many beautiful designs. But I just couldn't figure how to put them into those designs, but you show it so quickly. This video is a gem. I have fallen in love with quilting, although never made one myself yet😁 as my machine packed up. Awaiting the right time and I'm sure I'll be a pro by then😂🤯. God bless

Fantastic video! Good job! Thanks for sharing

Fun and informative ❤

Awesome. My head is exploding thinking of all the possibilities. I want to do them all.

Great video. Thanks

This is awesome!

Nice assortment of blocks. But my favorite half square triangle block is broken dishes.

Thank you I just had to subscribe to your channel you gave so much .x

I love this video. I'm a beginner; I've done a couple of these layouts already, but didn't know there could be so many. I am dizzy now after watching this though, lol...bit of vertigo going on. Thank you for lots of awesome ideas for the hst.

Wow, this is a fantastic view of possible combinations. Thanks for sharing! :-)

Wow your amazing thank you

You are genius

Thanks is gorgeous

This is fabulous! Thank you so much for compiling and sharing this. Now how will I ever decide which pattern to use? Guess I'll have to start one at a time!

WOW!!!!!!....... Such an amazing video. It must have taken you forever to do that video.

You’re amazing 😉

luv HST...

I love it, and am going to try it for my Grand kids.

Claudia great video. I think that the math is you start with squares 7/8" (not 1/2") larger when cut on a diagonal. Use 1" if you wish to have more generous wiggle room to cut down. I use Lee Heinrich's PDF for many sizes of HST's. With prescribed rectangles cut, just a few seams and easy trimming with your ruler and rotary cutter. I know that there are triangle paper rolls, but I'm cheap, and like that I can select the size I need and print at will. Also, there are also 8 at a time HST's that are effective and 4 at a time. I would stay away from 4 at a time as the outside edges are bias.

Wow!

Wow, you really amaze me, to brilliant. 🥰

I have 56 hst ready-to go now to pick a design

You should do a book of layouts ❤

Love all the designs! I made one similar to the swirl design and and bullseye design but have not come up with a quilting design to do with it. Any suggestions for doing a lap quilt using a walking foot on a home machine?

WOW

Thank you for sharing this video , you have shown me so many new layouts !! I can not wait to try them all. Do you have a book Available in the UK ?? If you do I would buy it in a flash. xx

Wow

This would have to be the most informative video I've ever seen. Do you have a book out with all of those ways to place HST? If you don't, you should have and if you do, where can I buy it?

Can some of your layouts work with one solid and one print? Or is it best to stick with two solids in contrasting colors? I really love your ideas I see hst's in a different light now.

Awesome. I have some half square triangles made but it's mixed colors, not all same color background. I'm trying to figure out what I can do with them.

I would like to print out all 27 for reference.

Thanks for the response. I think the key will be to take my time and go slow.
