thank you sooo much for posting this :D
I'm glad it helps Tanya!! I use to use the strips primarily but we use more scrappy than anything so my friend Dorothy who does my prep work just cuts pieces slightly larger than the size she needs and piles them up and flag sews them together. Then she takes the leftovers and resews them for the next size down. IE: She makes 1 1/2" squares then when all done she pulls the leftovers apart and resews them for 1 14" and then the leftovers go into 1" squares for me! She does hundreds of them at a time and then I have them all ready when I want to sit down and use them!
But if you are making alot of the same color HSTs then this works the best.
