I haven't tried that yet.
I also read Rhonda's tutorial here on cutting them from strips and saw there's another way where you sew around the outsides of your squares then cut on the diagonals to make 4 at a time. Any one of these should work to get the HSTs. I do like Rhonda's idea of using a template to trim out the blocks. I should be able to get perfectly sized blocks every time that way. I can make my own templates any size I need. That should remove a lot of my errors there. Rhonda also had another thread where she addresses some of the issues with sewing HSTs together into a block. I have major trouble with keeping the points lined up and I think Rhonda's advice may have solved that issue. I should be able to get some practice in later this morning and find out what I like best.
Thank you,
Rodney
