How to HST

TUTOR: JEMIMA FLENDT

In learning Half Square Triangles (HSTs) through the Electric Pop quilt pattern, students will develop essential quilting skills that build both precision and confidence.

Learn how to accurately cut and piece HSTs, including methods for trimming units to size for crisp, clean points. This pattern also helps quilters understand colour placement and contrast to make their HSTs pop, while reinforcing consistent seam allowances and layout techniques.

Students will gain a strong foundation in this versatile and fundamental quilting technique through making this bold and modern quilt.
