I like to do my HST next, but it is personal preferance.

I open my strips up and layer them right sides facing, cut the 2 3/8 square and then do the angle cut, I find this quick for me for when I sit down to sew them, I just peel the two up that go together (sometimes needs a little straightening) and sew them together, they are already matched.

You need twice the dark as light, so you need to make sure that you have the extra strip or two depending no how many you are doing to continue cutting the dark.

So then continue to do the rest of your cuts.

Accuracy here will help a lot when you go to sew them together!!!!!!!

all the pieces are cut.
