So sorry about that! For all you newbies, a 4P = 4Patch. It's a 4 patch block of 2 pairs of 2's sewn together (one pair sewn to another pair). HST's = half-square triangles. When half of the square is a triangle, then we call it a half-square triangle. QST = quarter square triangle (when 1/2 a triangle is sliced in half it becomes a quarter square triangle). There is a place to look for quilting abbreviations on this forum. I'll find the link and post for you to reference.
Here is the link of quilting abbreviations and their meanings:
