You can square up the HST and nobody will ever be the wiser.
Something was nagging at me when I saw the pictures and read your comment. I agree with MadQuilter...this is not a throw away for a pet, unless your pet is Princess Poopoo and gets all the best. The half square triangle idea sounds great! What if you used the method where you sew the two squares together all around the edge, right sides together, and then cross cut to make 4 half square triangles. How would that look? You may have to square it off first but this is definitely not a throw away!! I'm gonna keep reading to see what all these ladies are thinking...they are a great bunch!
