Absolutely beautiful quilt, unfortunately I have nothing new to add to the other suggestions.

.....or you could invest in a die cutter with dies for that size square and hst

Thank you for the compliments! I kinda figured since I'm using scraps...some not very big that it was just going to be one piece at a time. I don't mind it actually. :) I will use up scraps I would have normally thrown away before I realized you CAN make something with them.

I love your quilt no matter how long it takes. It is worth your effort. Good job.

It's going to be really pretty. Enjoy the process of each block and before you know it, all will be done:)

Your quilt is beautiful. I love it!!!

You can make 8 HST at a time using this "formula": X * 2 + 1 "X" is the size HST that you need. Say you need 3" HST. Then that formula would be 3 * 2 +1 = 7. This tells you to cut your 2 squares into 7". After this, you draw lines down the center horizontally, vertically and diagonally (both ways). Place right sides together and stitch 1/4" from either side of the DIAGONAL lines. When this is done, all of the lines are now your cutting lines. Press and trim. You should have 8 3" HST. Do the same if you need 1" HST or 12" HST ... should all work the same. sometimes I add 1.5" instead of only 1", but that's only because I feel I need the leeway when trimming. If your sewing is spot-on...this is unnecessary.

Can you tell me , what is the leader ender method?

This is so pretty and it will make a beautiful quilt. No faster way from me-just love it! That is one of my favorite blocks. Great job-enjoy the process as it grows.

One at a time but definitely worth it
