One Patch Charm Quilts: Day Five

A patch related to Monday's post is the half-square. What I showed on Monday was a square cut into fourths using two diagonal lines. This is only one of those cuts (yes, a small difference but a different looking project).

I taught this as a workshop for a year or so and called it Pixie Sticks. We started with 5" charm squares and measured in 1-1/2" at the top and 3-1/2" at the bottom. Then we sliced once and swapped with another charm.

I added the bonus striped strip to give it some personality! Then, my students learned how to set blocks on point.

Check out Carolyn's book with SO much inspiration for making one-patch quilts.
