Well, since so many of you asked how many pieces, the total is 1,236 pieces. Just the center with all the HST's was 1,224, and then 12 for the border strips. Someone mentioned it as an idea to use for their red work squares, but the large squares in the centers are not one piece. Each diagonal group of HSTs has a large triangle of the toile sewn to each side of it to make the square block. Then when you sew the blocks together the triangles come out looking like solid squares.
