I have a love-hate relationship with HST's. I fell in love with a pattern and just had to make it. It turned out to be all HST's and squares measuring 2 inches finished. Needless to say, by the time I finished that top I was BURNED OUT on HST's. And I still am! For Christmas I made another quilt that needed HST's (for granddaughter) and I knew I had to find a way to make HST's easier than one or two at a time(remember, I'm still burned out). So I went searching. If I have to make more than 4 HST's,( and if you make quilts, who doesn't) I use the method that makes 8 at a time. I found a chart that tells you what size to cut the fabric for whatever size HST you need. And they don't need trimming!!!! Even my scrappies(is that right?) will now get HST's using this method. For me the wheel is now fixed.
