Today we'll be making half-square triangle units in both red and green. The method we'll be using makes 8 half-square-triangle units at a time—some quilters refer to it as the "Magic 8" method. I like to make the half-square-triangle (or "HST") units a bit bigger than they need to be to start out with and then trim them down to ensure that the HST units are the exact size that I need, so that's the approach we'll be taking today.
