Just my imagination :-) One day I decided to make HRTs using the Triangle in a Square ruler (the tri-recs). Wasn't very happy with the result and don't ask me where those HRT blocks are now. So I am looking forward to your tutorial. I may make these boat blocks for RSC 2021.Preetihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15363550140143647850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3805690613494438271.post-45658380242332862502020-09-01T19:03:30.338-05:002020-09-01T19:03:30.338-05:00Actually, no, I haven't made these!

A friend of mine made an adorable scrappy vintagey looking quilt with lots of those lined up and I thought I would like to make one too, but then I thought that I might not be able to figure out how to make the HRT! And that was the end of that! (Not that I didn't have plenty of other things to work on). Sometimes, I just don't want to have to think about how to do something. I wonder why there aren't all kinds of tutorials for making them - like there are for HSTs?

A tutorial would be amazing, but don't sell yourself short and give it away for free if you'd rather not. No one is gonna blame you for asking for compensation for your efforts. (Okay, some folks will, but you know the world just needs a few of those to remind us how kind most folks are!) I'm excited to see what the sailboat is a part of, though, too.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01515254293191853580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3805690613494438271.post-46319774437119281202020-08-28T14:13:41.892-05:002020-08-28T14:13:41.892-05:00The flowering sailboat is lovely!

I used the tutorial at Bonjour quilts for those projects. But recently bought the Creative Grids ruler and love that. But I get that you don't want to write a pattern that you have to buy a special ruler for. I love your idea to use HRT's for the cute sailboat!Vicki in MNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16155452692252270164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3805690613494438271.post-86976276617933811402020-08-27T21:43:27.134-05:002020-08-27T21:43:27.134-05:00I have been admiring HRT designs for a while but h...I have been admiring HRT designs for a while but have not attempted any.
