I am 100% with you on this one, HSTs. I avoid them like the plague if I can. Since all my work is charity work, it's not a huge problem but once in awhile I like to try it again for myself. I guess I'm just not patient!!

I don't mind cutting the fabric. I enjoy sewing the pieces together and watching it come alive and take the shape that I envisioned.

But I really really dislike squaring up the blocks. I'm making a Friendship Star. It's going to have 42 blocks (I think). Each block has 1 solid square and 8 HST. I detest squaring up those HST's before I sew them all together to form the block. And it's putting a damper on my quilting this weekend. I keep taking breaks. I wish I could hire someone to square my squares! :roll:
