I have a friend (I use that term loosely after this - lol) who gave me baggies of her 'trimmings'. I sat down one afternoon and made 450 HST's. I have spent the last few days working on trimming them down to 1.5" squares. I have bundled them into sets of four and am making pinwheels out of them. They end up being 2.5" and play nicely in a nine patch with plain blocks. I am not sure what I am going to do with the nine patches but they will be easier to deal with than the smaller blocks. I have been saving the trimmings in a baggie to give back to her - lol.
