How it’s built
A 2 × 2 grid of half-square triangles, each rotated a quarter turn from the last.
Eight seams meet in the center: that’s where precision shows.
Sewing tips
- Make the half-square triangles two at a time from squares cut ⅞ in larger than the finished unit.
- At the center, “spin” the seam allowances by pressing them all in the same rotating direction: the center lies flat.
