The tricks for good half-square triangles: accurate cutting, accurate seam allowance, and press the seams open. With this quilt, I got a lot of practice making half-square triangles and I was really pleased how well the blocks turned out. Nevertheless, there were lots of corners to trim off!
This was a Craftsy quilt kit called “Flock Together, Looking Glass Quilt Kit”. I love the bright Boundless “Looking Glass” fabrics in the kit. I must admit that I hate letting this quilt go to donation. It’s my all time favorite. But I’ll suck it up and let it go.
