I use my 6"or my 6 ½" square rulers to square up my blocks to the 4 ½ " size. Just lay the diagonal line from the ruler on your sewn diagonal line and trim the top and right sides, then turn your cutting mat and line up your 4 ½" lines on your previous cuts making sure the diagonal is true.... then trim. I couldn't possibly afford a ruler for every size square I wanted to trim to. HTH

I'm just being a hobo and riding the rails for free while I enjoy the scenery of this trip.

Since I got the square up ruler (link above) in the 9 1/2" size I feel the world of HST and QST are a breeze compared to what they use to be. One of the best rulers I have ever bought. In fact I got a couple of them so I can use one in our Christmas "Dirty Santa/Chinese Auction" exchange at our LQS. I got the bigger size for more flexibility and might get a smaller one just so my boobs aren't in the way when I twirl my cutting board around (oooo TMI).

The link also has a short video of E Burns using her square up ruler a little ways into it.

I'll slide back into the shadows now and pull my covers back up to my chin nestled down in the fresh straw someone tossed in the open doorway. I'm harmless and won't eat too much...BTW, I do clean up some of the crumbly messes in the club car now and then.

Love your choice of colors, especially the first two.

I use the 4 at a time method, I have seen the 8 at a time, but have yet to try it. It does look easy, and the 4 one does up easy as well.

Here's my blocks, finally got to my sewing room this afternoon and got them done. I did the '8 at a time' method of making the HST - OH MY, how fast and easy, love it. Looking forward to Saturday..;o)

That's going to be very striking-looking.

The best thing I ever bought was my "quilt in a day square", squares from 2" to 6 1/2". Easy way to square is before you press squares open...just two cuts to square. Then press & trim off dog ears. Has cut my squaring time in 1/2! And you only need 1 square ruler!!!

I will print off the directions probably tomorrow, but going on another trip, so won't get to sew until 3rd clue is already given........I'll try not to peek at the 3rd clue, probably won't even get on this thread till I get clue #2 sewn. I don't want to ruin the mystery for myself. Isn't the 3rd clue the final step to the mystery? Oh, this will be so hard to do!
