What method did you use for the HSTs? I like placing two squares one light and one dark (or whatever you combination is) right side to right side. Draw the line diagonally and sew 1/4 inch on both sides of the line, then cut on the line. Thanks for the closeup. I LOVE THOSE COLORS.

gailG, have you ever used thangles? i used to make hst's the way you just decscribed, but with thangles you don't have to use any math to figure what size to cut your triangles, the thangles have it figured for you, just buy the thangles (which are cheap) for the size square you need.
