Magic 8 Half
"There are lots of ways to sew Half Square Triangles for Pinwheels and other quilt blocks, but I've found that the Magic 8 Method is the absolute fastest! With this method you can sew 8 Half Square Triangles at once and get them done fast! If you'd like to try out this technique, you'll just need two 7" squares to practice on, a quilting ruler, mat, a rotary cutter, and a sewing machine. There are other tools listed in the tutorial that are helpful, but not required."
NotesThis tutorial also includes a helpful chart so that you can make any Half Square Triangle block using this method!
