Well I'm almost caught up. I did the HST and made one star block to make sure I was doing it right. I won't be able to work on the rest until Saturday. I also use the fast flying geese method and love it! When I do it the regular way I also sew a scant 1/4" away from my drawn line toward the throw away part before I cut it off so I have a smaller HST when they are cut apart, then just need to square up for another project. I LOVE the purple and teal blocks
