Patchwork Essentials: The Half-Square Triangle - Jeni Baker

From Jeni Baker, Patchwork Essentials: The Half-Square Triangle is a paperback quilting book dedicated to the half-square triangle (HST) block and the many ways it can be used in patchwork. It explores multiple methods for making HSTs, from slower approaches to speedier techniques, then shows how to combine triangle blocks with other pieced blocks for varied quilt designs.

Organised into four main sections, the book features patterns that explore colour, scale and patchwork play, before culminating in a chapter devoted entirely to half-square triangles. That final chapter includes an inspirational index of over 12’’ 60 HST block designs, encouraging readers to create their own quilts using a single block or by combining several.
