Try a Shoo-fly block first and practice getting your HST blocks to match up before you do a bigger quilt block. HSTs really aren't scary. It is the accuracy that is the thing. Make sure your HST square is square and that the seam is evenly in the corner.(fabric on each side of the seam comes out the same on both sides) You don't want one side wider than the other.
Prevent problems to set yourself up for success.
