<\/a>Once I decide to use pink kitties as my signature fabric, I make my Half Square Triangles with the Magic 8\u2019s Method, which incidentally you can find here<\/a>.![\"2016BAMNewConvoG1\"](\"https:\/\/www.mkreative.org\/babe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/2016BAMNewConvoG1.jpg\")
<\/a>As I lay out my blocks they seem to work best along the right-hand side. Actually, one even creates an unexpected house motif.
