Chasezzz, wow, I’m jealous of your inspiration fabric & those beautiful fabrics you picked. As Carol said, it should be a striking quilt. I’m excited for the the clue.
If anyone wants to look into a way of making HST’s 8 at a time by using a larger square that gets cut down, look up the “Magic 8” method. The best way I found it was to go to Craftsy & use their search for the free pattern where each have charts, not just the math. There are 2, but the second one that comes up by “laugh yourself into stitches” has a little extra info to help if you have problems trimming to just the right size & recommends adding a 1/4” to your larger squares for that easier trimming. Remember if you use the charts for our HST’s look for the 3 1/2” trimmed sized not finished size. Ours will eventually finish out at 3” once sewn in the mystery quilt. It had been so long since I’d done HST’s that I had to go find a reference & I wish I’d found this one first instead of doing them all one at a time.
