Quarter size triangles
 
I have been struggling sewing QST. Need an easy method sewing them with measurements and how to trim them to size.

I paper piece QST. No trimming needed.

I think you mean .... QST = Quarter Square Triangles?

Try googling ...
"quarter square triangle tutorial"

Rather than me pick one or two, I figured you'd be better to survey the offerings, as to what makes the most sense to you!

Have Fun!

You can find lots of tutorials on Youtube.
I prefer to make them a little bigger then trim to size.

I can commiserate with you….at the moment I am trying to do this and end up with a 2 1/2” square to insert in my quilt….I can draw it…I can piece it…with much trial and error, but would like to find the correct directions or formula for it.😀

This site is good for showing how to make Quarter Square Triangles - It also has a chart down toward the bottom of the tutorial for making different sizes. Bonjour Quilts Quarter Square Triangles

@thimblebug6000 ... I always make them a little larger than I want/need.
Then trim ... for perfect sizing!

I made a "Clippings" quilt which has a lot of quarter square triangles. I made them larger and cut them down. It was easy and they came out perfect every time.

Aside from each being perfect ... it makes the next stage of putting them all together, oh so much easier!

... and what a beauty yours it turned out to be.
Great Name for your quilt!! :)

Ha! When I read quarter size triangles my first thought was why would someone work with pieces that small? 🤔
