It sounds like MTS' instructions are spot on. You need your HSTs to be 3.5" (unfinished). WHat method do you plan to use to make the HSTs?

When you sew the 3.5" HSTs together, then you will lose 1/2" in the center (3.5 + 3.5 - .5 = 6.5) When all of the HSTs have been sewn into a pinwheel block, it will be 6.5" That needs to be added to your border.

MTS, she said that the border is cut 6.5".
