First off...beautiful. secondly, have you tried chain peicing. You cound premake all the HST's, then lay out squares in desired pattern....and start stitching!

For the HST's.... If you have scraps that you can cut into squares, cut them 7/8" larger than you finished squares. Mark the diagonal on the lighter piece and sew 1/4" away from diagonal on both sides. Cut on the diagonal and you have two completed HST's. That's all I've got for you. Scrap quilts take extra time. But you are using up your bonus fabric - so it is ok!

I saw a tutorial from Missouri Star Quilts where she took 2 squares and sewed them together a 1/4" around the entire square and then cut diagonally and got 4 half square triangles. I love their tutorials. I think this was in a tutorial about an extra large quilt block that needed half square triangles.
