this method is the back bone of our work. Dorothy does these by the thousands for me. I seperate into 6 basic colors and she cuts one color both lights and darks into piles and then sews the piles together and then cuts. she does about 40 each of each fabric so I get 40 HSTS of the same two fabrics. I like to have at least 8 differant sets. So when she works she ends up giving me several hundred to a couple thousand HSTs of that one color way. One time I counted them because her DGS thought it looked like at least 1000 and there was over 3000.
