If I need more than 8 in a quilt, and most do, I use this method. For me it's the only way to go. I do the same for flying geese (no waste method).
Perhaps it is too early this a.m., (it's only 6am here) but I counted 12 blue/green hst's. I think you missed the center. This method would still work, because it would give you 4 extra hst's to put into the next square. And if you ended up with some extra after finishing the quilt, they would be ready to go for the next hst scrappy quilt that could be on your horizon to create! Perhaps after I have another cup of coffee, I will be more awake and discover that there are only 8 blue/green hst's after all!!!
