Gay, that is so true! Can't lay them lined-up right on top of each other. Thanks for the picture. Makes so much sense. I too prefer to make sub-blocks like this and HST over-sized and cut them down to the exact size I need. It takes more time, but makes putting the final blocks together soooo much more accurate and really seems to save time (and headaches) in the end. You gals (and guys) on this board are the BEST!!!!
