Half-Square Triangles - you will be making 28 half-square triangles, color variations with amount required will be provided after these piecing instructions for 1 half-square triangle block. 1- Draw a diagonal line on the wrong side of 1 square 3 1/2” (pink) and place it right sides together with another 3 1/2” square (red) and sew a 1/4” seam on both sides of the drawn line. Shown as diagonal dashed lines in the diagram above. 2- Cut along the drawn line to get 2 half-square triangle blocks, press seams. 3- Trim block to 2 1/2” x 2 1/2” square. ***Note - I built my candy cane block from the bottom up and pressed my seams in opposite directions so that they would fit nicely together. I pressed the seams as I completed the blocks. Also, for the half-square triangle blocks that will be sewn to another triangle, do not trim the block until after they are sewn together. Instructions for that block below on next page. 5
