Ya'll remember I have trouble with HST? Well on these I did as I always do, drew a line down the middle and stitched on that line. They came out good.

So let me ask, why is it on HST that you would stitch on either side of the line? I'm just not getting it :(
Tuesy, I really like that block, it's very pretty. The reason you stich on either side of the line, is that the line is your cutting line. Once the two seams are stitched, you cut on the line running corner to corner and you have two squares made up of 1/2 square triangles. Does that help, or just confuse you more?
