Then I saw a photo in a quilt magazine of a very pretty quilt that was made with HST and right in the middle was one that was less than perfect. Well, that made my decision. If a published quilter can get away with it, so can I. I've decided I'll chalk it up to a learning experience.
On the bright side, I'm getting better. I noticed that the last rows I sewed together were much better than the first.
Usually if you put a pin thru the joint of your first HST then carefully put the pin thru the second HST and carefully pin the two pieces together, you'll have accurate joints.
