Ever wondered how to sew and trim half rectangle triangle (HRT) blocks? Well you've come to the right place! Let me show you how I like to make them.
Let’s chat about Half Rectangle Triangles or HRT’s. I promise...a tutorial following. First off, half rectangle triangles (HRTs) can expand your design world out of the half square triangles (HSTs) corner you may be caged in. Don't get me wrong, HSTs are fabulous, but this takes you to the next step! I designed my Twizzle Pattern with them. See Michelle's awesome Dancing Horses quilt using HRTs. She also used the Fat Quarter Shop Jolly Bars like I did with Hello Darling for the same blog hop. They say great minds think alike! How can I make these great HRTs, you say? Let me walk you through a few techniques. Technique one: Also known as the, What Not to Do Technique. It will be your first instinct after making so many Half Square Triangles (HSTs) in the past. By placing two rectangles right sides together, drawing a diagonal line and then sewing 1/4” along each side? It is simply NOT going to work. At all. Unless you had plans for paper airplanes using your coveted fabric? Technique two: The traditional technique. Cut your right angle triangles from your rectangles. Sew the cut edges, right sides together, while shifting the two pieces 1/4” each end. It isn’t a bad technique at all. I just find it to be super sensitive to presser feet mangling and definitely require some squaring up/trimming. Technique three: The Accuquilt die cut. Similar to the one above, but you it takes away the 1/4" shifting. You line up the blunt edges and sew your seam. The Accuquilt tutorial is HERE. Technique four: I think it’s my favorite. It's the one I'm sharing below. I call it the Magic technique. I find it to be a unique and fun way to make them. I feel they need less fussing at the sewing machine and require much less trimming. Designing a quilt with HRTs: The other important part of HRTs is the direction you create them. I will admit, I made the mistake when designing my most recent quilt by assuming that all HRTs were the same. At first glance, it appears that you can flip them and get two different angled HRTs. However, your diagonal line will be in the same orientation on both of your finished Half Rectangle Triangles no matter how you turn it. Flip the left one? You can see they are the same orientation. IMPORTANT NOTE: I've seen a lot of tutorials where they use the terminology left-right and right left triangles...but to be honest? It's confusing to me because I spend more time thinking (upper left? lower right? Wait. Right...Upper? Lower? Wait a minute. Whaaaaat?) I've renamed them A-B and B-C blocks to hopefully clear up the confusion when using this in conjuction with my Twizzle pattern (and maybe more in the future). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Half Rectangle Triangles or HRTs Tutorial This particular tutorial will result in 4.5 x 9.75″ final block size for the purpose of my Twizzle Quilt using Fat Quarter Shop Jolly Bars. You can easily learn this technique using ANY SIZE rectangle as long as you use the same size rectangles. There does not seem to be an exact formula for finished sizes, but I have found that it should be 1/4″ to 1/2″ smaller in either direction. When changing the dimension drastically, I encourage you to make a sample block to test it out. Supplies 2 – 5 x 10” pieces of fabric Fabric Marking Pen/Pencil Rotary Cutter & Mat Ruler A/B HRT Blocks: 1. Layout the two rectangles, placing the rectangle print unit right side up on the left side and the background unit wrong side up on the right side. 2. Using the half inch intersection on your ruler draw dots at corners (see step 3 for specific locations) 3. You will place them on the BOTTOM LEFT corners and UPPER RIGHT corners of the face up fabric. Draw dots on the UPPER LEFT corners and BOTTOM RIGHT corners on the back of the face down background fabric. 4. Draw line through the dots on each of the pieces of fabric. (I used a black sharpie for the purpose of the tutorial. Even though it would be cut out, I do not recommend it. I would use a quilt marking pencil or a soluble marker) 5. Lift the face down piece and rotate it to the right, slightly. Place it on top of the face up piece and match the dots and diagonal lines. 5. Using the diagonal line as a guide sew a seam 1/4″ on either side of the line. (Red thread is just for the sake of the tutorial. Use a matching thread) 6. Cut on diagonal line. 7. Open blocks, press, and trim. You will have two HRTs. Finished HRT size: 4 1/2” x 9 3/4 C/D HRT Blocks: (opposite of the A/B Blocks) 1. Layout the two rectangles, placing the rectangle print unit right side up on the left side and the background unit wrong side up on the right side. 2. Using the half inch intersection on your ruler draw dots on the UPPER LEFT corners and BOTTOM RIGHT corners of the face down fabric. Draw dots on the BOTTOM LEFT corners and UPPER RIGHT corners of the face up background fabric. 3. Draw line through the dots on each of the pieces of fabric. 4. Lift the face down piece and rotating to the left slighting, placing it on top of the face up piece and match the dots and diagonal lines. Complete steps 5-7 from the A/B HRT blocks to yield C-D HRT blocks. Just so you can see the comparison, once more. Not all half rectangle triangles are alike. AB Blocks vs. CD blocks As always, I strive to make sure my tutorials are thorough and helpful. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me and ask questions. I had a lot of fun designing my Twizzle Pattern using the HRTs and have a few more patterns in the works where I plan on using them. By changing the dimensions, like all quilt blocks, the possibilities are endless. Disclaimer: Only old quilting scraps were used for this tutorial. They were somewhat harmed by the rotary cutter, but appreciated being pieced together.

This modern half square rectangle quilt is a combination of fabrics, pattern and techniques. The fabric: whites, grays & blues from many different Zen Chic collections by Brigitte Heitland and Kona white. Kona Ash is the binding and a grey dimple dot minky for the backing called Silver from Hawthorne Threads. The pattern: Harlequin by Robin Pickens was my inspiration. I bought the pattern to help me figure out color placement and guide me towards a modern vibe. The Technique: Deb Tucker's Split Rects template and video for assembly. I made a few blocks following the Harlequin pattern - but found I liked the consistent way Deb Tucker allows you to make over sized blocks and then trim down. This quilt block can be called "half rectangle", "split rectangle" or "split rects". The way you cut your fabric makes a big difference. If you cut the fabric with all pieces right side up - the diagonal goes left to right. If you cut the fabric with the wrong side up - the diagonal goes right to left. To achieve the mirror image or diamond look of this quilt - I cut the fabric both ways, right sides up AND wrong sides up. It wasn't possible to follow exactly the Harlequin pattern for fabric placement - but it did give me a starting point. My objective was to balance the darks and lights and scatter the blues so they looked even. I laid out the bulk of the pattern row by row using the unfinished, un-sewn half rectangles. I took a picture as I did each row in case anything fell off the design board. I put numbered pins on the left side of every 'unit' when I was ready to sew them together. After sewing and still keeping the numbered pins on the left side - I trimmed them to their final size of 3.5" x 6.5" using the Split Rects ruler. Then I sewed a row together and put it back on the board. (above left is an unfinished unit - the right one is unfinished but trimmed) You can see how much smaller the finished units all sewn together look next to the original cut pieces - but the accuracy and perfect matching up made it all worth while. Last to do was layout the top, bottom and sides with a variety of whites. It was easier to sew together the 'inside' of this quilt and do the whites last because I ran out of room on my design board. Quilting was done with a walking foot, straight lines 1/4" on either side of the seams. Lots of vertical, horizontal & diagonal lines in Aurifil Thread 50wt. #2311 (muslin) on the top and #2600 Dove for the bottom. Not the fanciest of quilting but I think it makes a nice 'modern' design for those of us who don't know how to free motion. Final tips: I did wash and starch all the fabric. Trimming on a rotating mat was very helpful. I am not a math wiz but: 1 yard of fabric yields around 90 separate half square rectangle pieces. There are 38 separate pieces per row across and there are 12 rows down. Total separate pieces: 456 for a quilt 58"x 73". That means over 5 yards total for this quilt. Why did I over cut and have lots of extra fabric? I needed units that went 'right' and 'left' to create the diamond effect - and figuring out how many of each and in what colors was beyond me. This is someone's wedding quilt and needed to be pretty perfect. Good news is that I have enough left overs to make a more relaxed pattern where the diagonals can go any which way - whew!
