A set of  templates for the l’uccello Lily’s Quilt.

There are 2 ways to construct the half square triangle squares that feature in this quilt. The 1st method is to cut the triangles with the pattern.

We chose another method which is quicker and easier, instead of cutting the individual triangles we cut 2 7/8″ squares and stitched the triangles before cutting. The large square template is for this 2nd method.

There is also a 2 1/2″ square template for the whole fabric squares.
