This is the same quilt on the design wall. You can see how its made up of HST. The little white dots are pieces of paper to keep them in the right place! There are two of each color set, making it easy to put two large squares together and marking the diagonal, sew 1/4 on each side method. There are 4 dark blues and 4 med blues. The background is scrappy. I believe I squared up each block to make sure they were a true square. It was a pain to quilt, but it was square and flat.
