    I'm afraid that you are probably stuck making these one block at a time. It's gorgeous!!!

    Doing scrappy can be more time consuming, but well worth the effort. Your blocks are so pretty! Do show us pics of your progress!

    I think you're stuck with one block at a time. But your quilt is beautiful!

    "Or is that my lot in life when it comes to finishing this quilt?" I am afraid so, that is what scrap quilting is about but look at the end result, fantabulous, don't run out of patience as the end result is so worth it.

    You can make the HSTs easier using Thangles. A 6" square would give you eight 2" finished HSTs. Or, make your own paper piece by drawing out a 6" square on paper, marking diagonally twice and sewing 1/4" from the line.

    Here is a link to an easy way to make two at one time.
    http://prudentbaby.com/2011/04/prude...angle-trick-2/
    Also I know there is a tutorial for making 4 at a time on You Tube. Take two squares right sides together, sew all around all four of the outer edges. Cut corner to corner and then the other corner to corner. At this point open them up and you have 4 - 1/2 square triangles. I saw this done by Jenny at Missouri Star Quilt Company on You Tube and it works but all four of the triangles are on the bias.

    No helpful answer here but wanted to let you know how beautiful your quilt is. The work is certainly worth the end result - it is gorgeous.
