ok, I was following along quietly, working with my daughter on this in secret... the jig is up, tho ~ we tried the method of sewing around all four sides and cutting diagonally... so many people say they like this method... now we sewed a row together tonight with sashing, and we're getting wavy-pucker stuffs going on... I have been quilting long enough that I didn't see that comin' and it hit me like WHAM!

I smoothed them out by hand on the ironing board, and I think they'll be ok once we start smoothing onto the batting... but my daughter was trying to do a quilt up for one of her BFFs whose b-day party is this coming Friday. Now I am not sure if there's a better method to doing the HSTs?

I have done some complicated stuff before, I cannot believe pinwheels will be my demise!
