First of all, if the block is 1 7/8 finished, I would make it 2", you can always square up later. The best method that I have found for making HST is purchasing papers or purchasing the Triangulations CD for $30. It has every size HSQ and flying geese you will ever need. It is a CD which I have used for many years, well worth the price. You just print out (from CD) on paper the finished size of the HST, lie it on the two pieces of fabric, sew and then cut on the lines. Absolutely PERFECT every time, no trimming necessary. I use this method for practically every quilt pattern I sew.
