If I remember right it is about 50/50, she mostly does when lots and lots of people start worrying about no more of a specific color in what they are using.

I'm working with yardage for the first time and didn't figure this into my planning.

I've got most of my clue 3 cut and ready to sew. I wasn't sure about using green, but I had a lot of scraps so went ahead with it. I'm doing them separately - and I had a large quantity of neutral HST that I'd miscut for a mystery a few years back - and they are just the right size for the HST we are doing here.

Looking Great Cheesehead.
Thanks Kassaundra, I thought I remembered but wasnt' certain.
betthequilter, dive right in. The beauty of her patterns is that they contain simple units that make up to complicated blocks.

Siodach - I was thinking the bonus HST wouldn't play nicely with the other sizes we've been making but then I realized when sew into the quilt, 3 bonus HST = 2 of the other units so maybe the HST are part of some sashing.
Cheesehead - your units look great!
I re-read Clue #3 a few times then tried 3 methods - none of which included bonus triangles. I'll make those separately.
1) drawing a line, flipping the corner
2) taking the green rectangle, trimming the diagonal corners off then sewing a half triangle to each end
3) making parallelograms from a green strip then sewing a half triangle to each end

All 3 units came out the correct size so I'm going with method 3. I can use the beginning and ending triangle for the bonus HSTs, I won't have to draw any lines, and I will have almost no wasted fabric.

I can’t understand how I can start a rectangle 4.5” x 2.5” then cut off to get the angle and still get a 2” HST so that both the chevron unit and the 2” HST have a 1/4 “ seam. Does my question make sense? I have finished 2 units but neither the chevron or HST have 1/4” seams.[ATTACH=CONFIG]604957[/ATTACH]
