Arrow Baby Quilt with HST’s Plus a Giveaway!
Half-square triangles are the bread-and-butter of the quilting world: You can’t make much without them! But yet, they are a finicky unit to make, and a little inaccuracy in your finished HSTs can put you in a world of hurt. Here are two different half-square triangle tutorials that appeared on We All Sew a while back, this Half Square Triangles tutorial and this Half Square Triangle Piecing Tip. As you can see, there are nearly as many ways to make HSTs as there are HST designs—but most of them involve marking diagonal lines onto the backs of squares and/or squaring up the finished unit. A time-consuming necessity, right?
Maybe not! If you’ve ever used HST papers, you know that they can cut down on the time it takes to make these units. And I recently released a new product that brings HST papers into the digital age: It’s called Perfect HSTs. These templates will allow you to make HSTs without marking the backs of fabric or trimming them later, speeding up the process considerably! (My PDF includes templates for 10 different sizes of HSTs, plus all the fabric requirements and cutting instructions for various quantities, so I’ve done all the math for you! You can purchase and download the templates by clicking here.)
So today I thought I would take you through the process of making this adorable Arrow Baby Quilt that I just made for my newborn nephew, using my Perfect HST templates. I’m giving you the instructions using Perfect HSTs, and I’m also giving you instructions to do it the “old-fashioned way”—because yes, we’re quilters. We do still like the old-fashioned way from time to time. : )
And, I’m going to give away a PDF of my Perfect HST templates to one We All Sew reader! Just comment below to enter the giveaway—one winner will be randomly selected on Friday, March 9th.
So, want to make an Arrow Baby Quilt of your own? It’s super easy and comes together lightning-fast!
Finished size: 36″ x 51″
Materials to Make an Arrow Baby Quilt
• 6 fat quarters (or straight-cut quarter yards)
• 1-5/8 yard of white (background fabric)
• 1-1/2 yards of backing fabric
• 1/2 yard of binding fabric
Cutting list (if using the “Perfect HST” templates):
• Cut 3 pieces 7-1/2″ x 9-1/2″ from each fat quarter
• Cut 18 pieces 7-1/2″ x 9-1/2″ from the white (background fabric)
• Cut 5 strips 3-1/2″ x 36-1/2″ from the white (background fabric)
Cutting list (if using the standard HST method):
• Cut 12 squares 4″ x 4″ from each fat quarter
• Cut 72 squares 4″ x 4″ from white (background fabric)
• Cut 5 strips 3-1/2″ x 36-1/2″ from the white (background fabric)
Make the HSTs (if using the “Perfect HST” templates):
1. Purchase and download my Perfect HST Templates (found here.) Print 18 copies of the 3″ Finished HST template (found on page 11 of the PDF). Be sure to print your template at Actual Size (100% scaling). This setting can be found under “Page Sizing and Handling” in the print dialogue box (“Shrink to Fit” is often the default, which will result in HSTs that are too small!). After printing, use a ruler to check the template’s 1″ scale to ensure the size printed accurately. You can print your templates on standard office paper/copy paper, or use blank sheets of newsprint for even easier tearing later.
2. Cut out the templates on the outer dashed line. The template size is designed to approximately match up to the 7-1/2″ x 9-1/2″ fabric pieces you cut earlier.
3. Stack two pieces of fabric, right sides together, as shown. Place the trimmed paper template on top of the stack, printed side of the paper facing up.
4. Sew on the dotted lines that say “Sew here,” through all three layers (the two pieces of fabric and the paper template). Before you start sewing, be sure to turn down the stitch length on your sewing machine—I bring mine to about 1.5. The shorter stitch length will help you tear off the paper when you’re done stitching.
5. Using a rotary cutter and quilting ruler, cut along the solid lines marked with scissors icons. Cut the template’s vertical lines first, then the horizontal and diagonal lines.
6. Carefully remove the paper by folding it back along the stitching and tearing along the seam line. Press HSTs open. No squaring up needed!
Make the HSTs (if using the standard HST method):
1. Mark a diagonal line from corner to corner on the backs of the (72) 4″ white squares.
2. Pair up one 4″ colored square and one 4″ white square, with right sides facing. Stitch 1/4″ away on each side of marked diagonal line. Cut HSTs apart on the marked diagonal line and press open.
3. Square up each HST to 3-1/2″ unfinished.
Complete the quilt (both methods):
1. Join HSTs to create a four-patch block as shown.
2. Make 6 four-patch blocks in each color, for a total of 36 blocks.
3. Join the 6 four-patch blocks of each color into a row, as shown.
4. Assemble the quilt top by joining the rows of blocks and and the 3-1/2″ x 36″ sashing strips.
5. Quilt and bind as desired. I quilted in a wide zig-zag pattern 1/2″ apart for more angled movement in the completed quilt.
You could be the Lucky WeAllSew winner of a PDF of my Perfect HST templates used in this tutorial!

Love the pattern. I’m not keen on paper piecing (hate all the little bits of paper and wastefulness), but if these templates will keep me from having to square up every HST, they’re worth a try.
-
I am not a fan of half square triangles but your way looks super easy. I am going to try the arrow baby quilt soon.
-
I started using my Perfect HST’s this week and just love it. So fast and accurate. Thanks again for visiting our Guild in February.

So fresh looking, I love the pattern and the templates make it look easy! I haven’t actually made it yet but my favorite HST quilt design is Ripple by the Happy Kiwi Quilt Studio. The whole thing is different size HSTs but I might go crazy making it…
-
This looks like a much easier way to m hst’s
Love the quilt. -
HSTs are my nemisis, but I might actually be able to make them with these templates. Looks intriguing!
-
Would love to make it this weekend.
-
I am not a big fan of half square triangles either but plan to try your method
-
I love that quilt. I am finishing a quilt with lots of hst pieces and it uses the cat’s cradle ruler by creative grid rulers. I really like making sailboat quilts for baby boys and that requires lots of half square triangle squares.
-
I know the pattern is for a baby quilt, but I can see this expanded to a queen size. This is a promising way of handling a voluminous amount of HSTs.
-
This is such a sweet quilt! And I love HST’s. Thanks!
-
I’m in love with this pattern and this method! I just finished a half square triangle baby quilt that just laid out random triangles. It was ok, but nothing near as beautiful and dynamic as this pattern. And after squaring up all of those triangles individually I said that I’d never do half squares again. But now I can’t WAIT to get the templates and make this stunning quilt!
-
I have heard of your template and wondered what it would look like. What a wonderful idea! I would surely use this over and over! Thank you for gifting the template to one lucky person.
-
This will make half square triangles so much easier. Thank you
-
I have never made a half-square triangle quilt design or even a quilt before, but I am really digging how simple this pattern seems to be for users.

I like any quilt with stars that uses HST.
-
Beautiful quilt. I have been very intimidated by this process but this makes it look possible.
-
I love the arrow design the most for HST. Your paper piecing method is a great way for beginner quilters to make the HST perfect! I love making HST with scraps from another project. Just one more seam and you get a bonus HST!
-
What a clever idea for a quilt, and you could easily use up your scrap material
-
My favorite hst quilt is the double carpentar star.
-
Have some grandson quilts to make, this is a cute modern pattern.

This is going on my project list today!

-
My favorite HST pattern is Circle of Friends by Pam Linnott.

The baby arrow quilt is a favorite! I really enjoy using the half square triangles, they are so versatile and provide such a variety of designs. I need to give this design a try soon.

This quilt looks great. Thank you for the instructions.

I am expecting a new grandson this fall. His parents both are aviators with the USMC. They have decided the theme for the nusrery will be….guesses?
Airplanes and helicopters!
This design needs to go in there as it reminds me of the marks on runways! I am really new to quilting, but ready to be challenged and succeed!
-
Love the design and colors in this quilt. I have only made basic quilts from jelly rolls but this looms very simple. Would love to try it out. Thank you.
-
Willing to try…usually make them a bit bigger and then trim and square to size! Biggest problem is stretching them on the bias….still have not found the perfect method!

Understated symmetry with a pop of color.Can you tell I am a modern quilter? 😉
-
Favorite pattern w the half square triangles is from Cluck Sew; Playful 2. Had to make 63 pinwheels, and it would be a lot easier with the PDF templates.
-
I love HST quilts, and make lots of scrappy quilts that include them. The quilt is beautiful.

Thought I had a favorite quilt pattern using HSTs in a flying geese design, but your pattern is my new favorite. Love the combination of color with the simple lines and design. So clean looking.

Such a cute quilt and so much easier with the papers.

HST are so much fun to work with. Love your quilt!

I love the pinwheel block and any quilt that uses pinwheels!

Love this pattern and your instructions! This would be s great quilt for my new (first) grand baby ??

I like to make stars with the hsts….I do like this baby arrow quilt…very nice!

Love the colors in this quilt & the way you quilted it! Thank you for the template & the very nice tutorial!
-
The pinwheel block is a great block for HST!
-
I am always looking for an easier and quicker way to do things. This would be perfect.
-
My favorite old fashioned half-square triangle pattern is Pinwheel. It is easy to piece and looks complicated when it is finished and quilted.. I also like flying geese blocks and use HST’s to make them more quickly. I love the idea of the HST templates that you have available. They would certainly make the cutting of either pattern go much faster.
I like the baby quilt that you demonstrated. The zig zag quilting looks easy enough to do and adds a lot to the design.
Thanks for the opportunity to win the templates.
-
The chevron pattern is my favorite pattern. Your papers look like a great way to make HSTs!
-
Awesome arrow baby quilt and I like the fast idea. rozz01(at)cox(dot)net
-
Love the bold, modern look. Such a great modern quilt using an age old block.
-
As I am in the process of moving and my sewing machines are in storage, any quilt pattern looks great right now. Hopefully in a few weeks, I will be settled and can get back to quilting.
-
The HST papers make this look really easy!
-
I made a scrappy HST doll quilt with matching sheet and pillow case. My grand daughter loved it. I make a lot of baby quilts for the NICU at our local hospital. This would be a perfect pattern and looks so easy (no squaring up). Would love to win your pattern for HST’s.
-
Love your method and would love to have the templates! Among my favorite HST blocks is Lady of the Lake.
-
HST are the bane of most quilters. I love the idea of the new templates and can’t wait to try them out! Another cute and quick pattern for the stash of quilts I’m building for future great grandchildren…
-
This is a lovely baby quilt. I would like to give a try using your HST Templates!
-
I love the clean look of this quilt. So perfect for a baby. I would like to try this pattern in the near future. Beautiful!

This is a great pattern and your triangle helpers would save a lot of hair pulling!
-
I like the Aurora Feathered Star Quilt Block Tutorial

There are so many block and quilt patterns that use hst. I have made lots of churn dash blocks and pinwheel blocks and friendship star blocks and…
Way too many to pick one! -
HST that are accurate? I’m sooo there.
-
I like the scrappy half square triangle patterns. Would also like to make the pattern featured.

This looks like a faster way to get accurate HST’s and I’d like to make an Arrow quilt as my next charity quilt for my guild. We make and donate about 200 quilts a year to the Ronald McDonald House.
-
My favorite HST pattern is the pinwheel block! Thanks for the great tutorial and pattern. This is a really cute pattern.
-
I would like to thank you for the give away. I am going to make a baby quilt before July–so these would come in handy.
-
This looks so pretty. I love the colors , I will need to make this for a grandchild.
-
Love HSTs, but setting them in rows or surrounding a nice panel is as creative as I have gotten. Am more than eager to try your pattern – definitely before the end of this year.
-
Love the quilt. Thanks for the wonderful New away to make half square triangles. Looks like the next quilt will be this one.
-
HST are the cornerstone of many quilt patterns, without them there wouldn’t be as many interesting quilts. Love the baby quilt!
-
The arrow baby quilt is by far my favorite quilt using HST’s. Very simple pattern but perfect for a baby.
-
Carpenters Star is a great HST quilt that I’d like to make, but this one would be great for an upcoming retreat. I really like the chevrons.
-
gorgeous! this one i have to try
-
I guess I always love pinwheel quilts. So simple and so perfect.
-
Perfect timing. I am focusing on sewing triangles and using the templates would be one more way for me to learn about triangles.
-
I love the arrows quilt design; it looks so modern. Unfortunately, I have a problem with consistently creating HST. Your templates look like the perfect solution.
-
Just getting ready to unpack my new 770 after a big move to a new house and having my own sewing room. This looks like it might be a good first project!

Awesome quilt! There are so many great HST quilt patterns, but I think my favorite is the Carpenter’s Star Quilt.

-
Such a cute quilt! The colors work really well together. Your templates look like they are super easy to use! Thanks for the chance to win!!
-
I’ve tried HSTs previously but alas, never completed one because the trial blocks never went together correctly.
I’d like to make a Carpenter’s square quilt to honor my Grandfather.
As a happy Bernina owner, I just want to say thank you for this website. I look forward to seeing new posts. -
This technique looks so easy! Thanks!!!!!
-
I love this idea! I haven’t made many half-square triangles but would love to win the pdf templates to try. I like the Arrow quilt and I’d like to make it if I win the templates.?

I too like pinwheels and chevrons from hst’s. I have 3 baby quilts to make this spring – this will definitely be one I make! Thanks for the tutorial 🙂
-
I really like the Pinwheel Sampler by Rachel Griffith Designs, it uses lots of half square triangles. I think your templates would really be a time saver for any half square triangle project. Thanks for showing your techniques, this quilt is on my list of possibilities for a baby quilt next time I need one.
-
Love this quilt! Am getting ready to start a baby quilt with my 9 year-old granddaughter, who loves sewing! (Chip off the old block!). She has selected her fabrics, but not the design, yet. I am planning on using HST’s because they are so versatile! I will definitely include this version as one of her design options…Thank you!
-
the new quilt looks lovely! I like the way you quilted it too. Looks very doable even for me!
-
Thanks for the opportunity to win this great prize. The quilt pattern is terrific too.
-
I am loving this pattern for a modern baby quilt! Thank you for the pattern and free tutorial!!
-
It’s about time I find the perfect method for making HSTs as mine always turn out wonky or small. The “draw a line and sew slightly to the right of it” method that needs to be done larger to allow for trimming is getting old. Great little quilt and pattern. kthurn(at)bektel(dot)com
-
I am scared to death to make triangles, what a perfect tool! I am adding this to my birthday wish list which just happens to be March 10th 🙂
-
I made a rockstar quilt last year, made up of hst. It’s the largest quilt I’ve made, and Im still finding time some nights to quilt little bits of it.
-
I love Lee Heinrich’s patterns and have done a couple. Modern and colorful. I have a new great grand-daughter coming in a few months. I’d better get busy.

I’ve always made loads of pinwheels. thanks for the giveaway.

Thanks for the tutorial on this cute baby quilt. My favorite HST pattern is the Hunter Star.

Looks like this would be a key to precision?!

I gave HST as a to do project. This looks like a great way for a beginner to use.

What a great idea using a paper template. Sure takes out the worry of working with bias cuts. Like the baby quilt pattern also. Need to try this one. Thanks for the tutorial.
-
I’ve never used triangles in a quilt before, so I’ve not looked at patterns that include them. This baby quilt is lovely, and you’ve made it look as if I could do it, too! Thanks so much for the inspiration and for such a generous giveaway.
-
I love this quilt and it’s perfect timing for a baby quilt project I need to complete a.s.a.p. for a friend of mine! She’s having a girl so I will change the colors to oranges pinks and violet on pale silver grey background. Can’t wait
-
I love this pattern so much. I can’t wait to do it!
-
This looks like a wonderful way to make more blocks fast. Thanks for the tutorial.

-
The Modern Chevron Baby Quilt from Bonjour Quilts is amazing with the HST and I’ve made several. I love its motion and versatility.

HSTs are used in a lot of quilts. I love the Arrow Baby quilt. I also saw a quilt on Sewing With Nancy. These are just two I could make easier with the HST system. What a great idea!!!
-
This is an adorable quilt. I’m sure my great niece would love for me to one for her. Delectable Mountains is one of my favorite Quilt designs. It would be so much more accurate and fun with templates .
-
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE HST’s. They are my go to block. In fact it is one of the first blocks I introduce new quilters to. My thinking is if they can master HST’s, they can get just about anything else I throw at them 😀

Love making stars, pinwheels and Chevron patterns with HSTs. Very anxious to try your templates!
-
Love the quilt. The PDFs make it look easy to make all those triangles.

Great pattern. The possibilities with HST’s are endless! So many ways to use them it’s hard to choose a favorite.

I currently am making Rainbow Dreams that is all HST. My hisband picked the pattern out for our bed. But I am always drawn to these arrow quilts too. I would love to try this baby quilt pattern. We have 2 new arrivals expected in the next couple months, so perfect timing.

This technique looks accurate and easy in contrast to my innacurate method. so I will try this on this adorable little quilt. Thanks!
-
I love the chevron design, and would love to try this project for my first quilting project.

I want to make this quilt! It is my “style” so having your tool would be so nice because I would use it a lot. I love to make baby quilts too so I really appreciate this pattern.
-
I have two baby quilts to make before June. This pattern will work for either gender or gender neutral. Thanks for the pattern!
-
This will surely be the first I try. I look for simple to make quilt tops, as I donate them to my sister’s church group, and now am making lap quilts for veteran’s homes. This is lovely.
-
Wavelength is my favorite, works up beautiful. HST’s are quick and easy.
-
I have typically shied away from hsts because of the hassle, but this looks so easy! This baby quilt is eye-catching and might even be a joy to complete with the paper templates 🙂
-
I like half square triangles because of their versatility and think this pattern will be great for my next scrappy quilt.
-
I am a fairly new quilter, but have made a few HST quilts, with varying success. I would love to try your template. My favorite HST pattern? Your arrow quilt might be my new favorite!
-
I am so thrilled to see this tutorial. I have this quilt on my list to make. Thank you for the the tutorial.
-
I just finished a self designed tablerunner using HST’s. Your tutorial would have been helpful and am looking forward to using your patterns as I like HST’s, especially if they don’t need to be squared.
-
I especially like the HST pattern that looks like opened envelopes. I’ve forgotten the name. I can hardly wait to do this one, though. I love the modern look!
-
I love making HSTs with papers- it would be super to have the file with all the sizes! I love making star blocks using HSTs.
-
Love the quilt. I am interested in the pattern and how to cut the pieces with a pattern. I have not tried this method and would like to.
Thanks for all of the interesting projects and tips. -
I love the HST…..there are so many ways to make beautiful designs! Thanks for this tutorial!
-
I’m still looking for the perfect HST method. I’ve made them before but they come out skewed most times. So I will have to give your method a try. I hope to win!
-
My friend is going to be a first time grandma so thank you for the pattern. I like flying geese.
-
I love making the flying geese block using HST.
-
Nice pattern, so adding to my list of to-do projects. HST is one thing I do pretty well. Thanks!
-
I love the big black and white star quilt made from HST, it is found here-http://nightowlquilting.blogspot.com/2013/06/black-and-white-hst-quilt.html
-
My favorite quilt patterns using HST’s are pinwheel quilts. I just LOVE them!
Thank you for the great pattern and tutorial! I think using your papers to make this quilt would save lots of time. Which would leave more time to make more quilts 🙂 -
I would love to win and try your templates! One of my favorite hst designs is the chevron quilt pattern. I made one for my granddaughter for Christmas in her school colors with a cozy fireside backing.
-
Beautiful quilt. Today may favorite half-square quilt pattern is this one.!!!!
I have a grandbaby coming in June so would love to make this!
Great tutorial! -
I absolutely LOVE this design, so it is my favorite HST quilt pattern!!! And I love to paper piece, totally love the accuracy this gives me. Thanks for the tutorial and giveaway!
-
I love HST’s. I made my son a king size quilt with the rippling star pattern which was almost all HST. This would have made it much simpler to get them all correct.
-
Really beautiful quilt and easy to make, too! Going to use this pattern!
-
I haven’t made half square triangles using these templates. I keep reading how accurate and easy triangles are using these paper based templates.
-
Lovely quilt and a great tutorial!!! Thanks for the giveaway!
-
This is my favorite HST quilt design. I made a similar one for my grandson recently, but it took longer than I expected. Excited to do another using this pattern and tutorial! I know it will save lots of time. Thanks so much.
-
What a cute quilt!! I still need to make quilts for 4 (of 6) of our Grands!! I’d love to win this HST TEMPLATE and see the difference using it as opposed to one of the “traditional” ways!! (Those 4 Grands say “Thank you!” in advance! ?)
-
I am a beginner so I am not familiar with many HST patterns. I wouldn’t mind trying my hand at this arrow quilt though.
-
My pet peeve is having to square up all my HST’s after going to the trouble of marking, sewing, cutting and the process looks so easy with your templates! Thank you for creating these!!
-
I’m terrible at half square triangles so I don’t really have a favorite, but I’d sure love to win this down load so I can start using HST in quilts without fear of messing them up.

I have tried several rulers and templates to make HSTs easier but I still struggle. I would love to try your product.

My favorite half-square triangle quilt design is called “Woven Star”. I’d love to try it with the “Perfect HST Templates”.
-
That would be the perfect project for my third grandchild which is due on March 20!
Sounds easy and fast! Great!! -
I’ve done this method of making HST and love it! Thank you for the chance to win this giveaway!
-
Would love to try your method of making HSTs, to see if it’s easier.
-
I love this quilt!!!! This Arrow Quilt is my new favorite HST quilt design.

What a clever idea to save time and effort when making Half Square Triangles! This will be my next project!
-
I forgot to add that I have no favorite HST pattern – or method – as I am relatively new to quilting. I have a feeling that this will become my favorite method!

I would love to make this quilt using the free HST pattern and paper!!
-
Love HST and many sizes to choose. Thank you
-
I would like to try your method. My favorite HST pattern is anything that comes out as a star! It is the “cheater” way to make a Lemoyne star 🙂

I would love to win the templates. I am pretty new to quilting so do not have a favorite quilt but would love to try your baby quilt using the templates.

I love working with HSTs and very eager to try the new template for accuracy and speed.
-
I love the colorful chevron quilt. Love to make HSTs in an easier and more accurate way.

I like the Postcard from Sweden Quilt by Kelly Liddle because of all the colors that can be used. It is on my list of quilts to make. Now using your short cut, it will make this quilt so much faster and accurate. I also like your pattern as I the modern look it has.
Thank You, Vickey -
We have many more grandchildren to make quilts for. This is a great one.
-
Genius! My new favorite is the Arrow Baby Quilt!
-
I love the pattern and think your technique will make my future attempt go sooooo easy!
-
I like the double arrow, hour glass, pinwheel. I like the precise points. Very classic. Beautiful!

Love the combination of the white and bright colors…From afar, I would have never thought this was made up of half square triangles
