Wow, lot's of posts since I was last here.
Yeah, agree with SBG, the diagonal lines usually mean making HSTs. I dislike that method of sewing HSTs. Why draw a line, sew and cut? It's easier just to cut and sew-- two steps instead of three. I don't want to spend time drawing lines. I'll wait on that to see if it's necessary.
We all have quite different fabrics! Thanks for the pictures. It will be so interesting to see how the pattern looks when using our different colors/prints!
