Mousie ... another hint ... remember to keep the differences between finished and unfinished blocks! So a 6-1/2" cut makes a 6" finished. When working with a picture and doing your calculations, start with the finished and be sure to add the 1/4" seam allowances (for all seams and all sides!). Likewise for the HSTs or other subcuts, remember the seams allowances.
And now ... I'll pass the Mousie some cheese to help her brain-power-absorption!!! :)
