Should I have sewn them in squares, say 3 down by 4 across and then together, rather than having a long row of 12? Would that have helped keep them more square? Thanks for any advice.
Did you square up each of your HST units before sewing them to the other HST units?
It's a bit more work to do that, but for many of us, it makes the rest of the project go better.
I've had good success assembling things like that in strips or "blocks" - it kind of depends on what the pattern is.
