Have you ever looked at a pattern and thought it would be too hard? Well, this pattern is simple half-square triangles.

She used white, but you can use any solid color. Mara wanted a quilt for her bed, so she found a layer cake bundle and made this. She is a new quilter and found it easy to do.
Here’s our tip for triangles, flowered fabric work great for these. I try to stay away from diagonal fabric as that can make you need a larger number of squares, and you have to be really careful with your seam allowance, so things are straight.
