Progress on my new quilt

I pieced all the blocks for my mother’s quilt.

A little more work but perfect pieces…

I made HST using this method I saw on You Tube – here is the link.
Two squares with the right sides together,

I stitched the pieces around all the edges with 1/4” seam allowances.

then I cut on both diagonals,

Here are 4 half square triangles. I pressed them then I cut them to the needed size.

This method is very quick but has a disadvantage: all the edges of the HST are cut on bias. So more care is needed with pressing while piecing the blocks. But I didn’t press any seam until I finished the entire block.

Here are the blocks nicely pressed.

Now I have to join the blocks and maybe to add borders.
I will make a Jewel Box quilt!
