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?
