I wrote on the bottom of this message and it says too short - I'm going to try and see if this divides - my note may be in the original one.

Also, is there another way to chain piece them besides sewing the squares together then cutting them?I love triangulations - that's the software that lets you print out sheets of hst or flying geese - any size - you will never have a problem with them again. You take your two fabrics, put them face to face, lay a sheet of the size hst or fg you need and sew on the lines. I've found if my needle is just on the line but toward the seam side - gives that hair you need when you press to one side. I just made an Ocean Waves - 4,000+ hst and they are spot on. I also use the easy angle that Bonnie Hunter uses, but I always square with that method and it's just another step - no need to square with triangulations.

Thanks!!!
