Have you heard of these rulers? I think they’re great for squaring up HST’s. they have a ridge across the center that catches on the seam and holds it snug while you square up the block.

I like to use a rotating mat when squaring up the blocks, so I can just turn the mat without lifting the ruler.
They are pretty neat!!

I bought the Half Rectangle Triangle ruler in Houston, but haven’t tried it yet.
Anyway, if you hate having your ruler slip when you square up half square triangles, I highly recommend using these rulers.

I wish I could’ve went down to the quilt show this year. Two quilts that I quilted were in the show and they both received ribbons! Yea!

Carol has won several blue ribbons at the show over the years. One year she got Best Of Show. This year she got a blue on the one I quilted for her. Both hers and Cheryl’s quilts were both large bed quilts.

This was the first time that Cheryl entered a quilt and she got 3rd place. I’m so happy for Cheryl! My mother in law used to go to the quilt show with Cheryl and we lost her to cancer back in Dec so it’s sad that she didn’t get to share in Cheryl’s excitement of winning a ribbon.

Here’s the link to see the winning quilts.

I don’t have a close up of Carols quilt in my phone, but here’s a couple close ups of Cheryl’s quilt.

Have a good day!
