This isn’t WIP Wednesday, but I finished Part 3! Yay!!!!

The clue? Make 350 (1.5″ finished) half-squared triangles (HST). Whoa! That’s alot! But, as mentioned in Part 2, Linda Franz and her Inklingo make this clue easy peasy to accomplish.

I am showing printing on both a light fabric and a muslin fabric just for comparison. You can easily see the printing (on the wrong side of the fabric, by the way) on both of these fabrics.

I cut the fabric 8.5″ x 11″…the same as copy paper (only because my dinosaur printer doesn’t do custom sizes) and I still get little waste. In fact, I get 30 HSTs per printing. Cool! This is a real timesaver!

Sew on the diagonal dash lines.

Cut apart on the solid lines.

Almost finished already!

Pressed open and trimmed! YeeeHawww! That was easy!

Cute little guys, aren’t they?

I don’t have an ink printer, only laser so I just use the paper and peel it off. I LOVE this technique tho. It is sooo soo fast and very easy to do! I can’t believe you are keeping up with the mystery…you are so much a better sewer than me! I am so slow! It is looking great and nice job1

  No way am I a better sewer Cathy! And soon, I’ll be heading to Michigan to be with my daughter and her family. I won’t be doing any sewing then, and I will be way behind by the time I get back. Being slow has nothing to do with our sewing abilities. But I’ll accept the compliment anyway! :O)
