Thanks carolyn
Forgive me. I suppose I'm trying to be a big show-off in letting everyone know what I have learned on this board. (teeheehee) HST stands for half-square triangle. I make the square block (the HST block) first. Then I sew it to one of the window sills (don't really know the name for those pieces, that's just what I call them They're the green and light gold strips) to the corresponding side of the HST block. For instance I sewed the green side to the green strip. Then I sewed the gold strip to the window square (daisy print). Then I sewed the two pieces together. Does that make sense?
:lol: I'm sure there must be a tutorial for this technique somewhere on this board. Somebody "HELP!" Thanks. Gail
