Description
Unleash your inner quilt designer with versatile half-square triangles! Join professional quilter Monique Jacobs, formerly Monique Dillard, to create three breathtaking projects: a stunning art piece, a batik quilt and a dazzling, diamond-effect quilt. Get started with five fast HST-making methods, then dive into setting options that allow you to modify any pattern. Learn how to combine half-square triangles with simple four-patch blocks, and experiment with color placement and block rotation to create a range of inspiring designs. Next, play with two sizes of HSTs for an eye-catching effect, and discover how to use the same technique to make an exquisite pieced border. And, find out how to resize blocks and enlarge any pattern, for beautiful quilts that always measure up. Explore endless pattern possibilities, and jumpstart your designing journey!
