Hey there, team!
The Fastball Quilt is a fairly simple pattern, with fast and easy piecing. But there is one technique I want to share that is used to make the Two Color version of this pattern, even more efficient! Let me introduce you to my friend, 8-at-a-time HSTs. That's right, one of my absolute favorite time-saving techniques is making Half Square Triangles (HSTs), 8-at-a-time and it's way easier than it sounds.
Still need to grab your copy of the Fastball Quilt? Get it here.
WHAT YOU'LL NEED:
Two squares of fabric the same size
A marking pen or tool
Rotary blade
Ruler
LET'S GET STARTED:
Take your two squares of fabric and place them right sides together.
Next, mark two diagonal lines and two perpendicular lines through the center.
Sew 1/4" away from each diagonal line on both sides (diagonal lines only).
Cut on each of the drawn lines.
Open, press and trim your HSTs to your desired size.
And that's it! Now you have 8 HSTs ready to go.
