  • Hello peanut gallery! The half square triangle is such an easy and versatile quilt block to make that I think it deserves its very own series! It's perfect for beginner quilters. You can expect me to be adding to this series on a regular basis until I run out of ideas, which might be never! lol Thanks so much for watching! xoxo

      Love your tutorials! It’s like going to a gf’s house & hanging out learning. As a beginner quilter ina family of very exact quilters it is great to find someone to learn from who isn’t. Thanks!

    Thank you for the video. I'm just getting into quilting and watching videos of people who say everything needs to be square, blah, blah, blah. It's nice to know it doesn't have to be completely perfect for it to turn out nice.

    Hi Darlene, thank you so much for this tutorial! The perfectionist in me wants everything to be lined up exactly so your reminder that it doesn't need to be is pretty timely and very much appreciated.
    PS I love how you used the word "funkified" :D
