Half square triangles, yup!! except for the front star block of course. Easy Easy!! I just laid it out on EQ5 so I would know how many squares to cut. The secret is a really good contrast between the top of the "brick" and the sides. Thanks for the nice words! My neighbor (non-quilter) looks and says, oh how pretty!! Y'all "get it"!! so your comments are so meaningful.
