Do I get it that you both would cut larger and trim to size? Smaller pieces less error in cutting when you trim?
So, if the pattern wants you to cut the following:
1. Make white rectangles 1 7/8" x 4 3/4 "( cut 96 of these!)
2. Cut dark color fabric in 1 7/8" x 4 3/4".
3. Now sew a white rectangle on top and bottom of the dark rectangle. This makes another "square"
The pattern will require 48 of these blocks.
You would cut larger then trim off before you sew together?
uh, Pocoellie....what is HST mean ??
