Somebody asked if this was an easy block! YES!!!!! In fact, I end up with an extra HST because of this block. When I sew down the center of the little block, I go back and sew another seam 1/2" away toward the corner. When I cut off the excess between the two seams, this gives me a mini HST block for another purpose! So I'm getting two for one!
I used this technique for a signature quilt for a young (8yo) family member that has cancer. His classmates signed the blocks. The little HST that were left over became a baby quilt! I love two for one events!
Join the fun! This is my second swap, so maybe I'll have enough to make a wall hanging. That would be great to look at in my sewing room to remind me there are others like me in the world!
