Half square triangles (HSTs) are a common quilting unit that are made by cutting a square of fabric diagonally into two triangles. These triangles are then sewn together to form a square with two contrasting triangles.
Half square triangles are a versatile unit that can be arranged in a variety of ways to create different quilt designs. They can be used in blocks such as flying geese and chevron patterns, or combined with other units to create complex quilt designs. HSTs are also commonly used in borders, sashing, and binding.
