Oh Wow. How did you stand to do that? Do you have an easy method? I hate doing them. Mostly because they never come out right and I have to oversize them and trim each one.

Cybrarian, I'm not planning on making more. The brown ones are done and I have a bunch more of the red ones/aqua ones. After I add more white, it will be done.

these are some we made a long time ago. Basically any pattern you can make with Log Cabin blocks that are half and half, you can do with HST's.

I love patterns with HST. Here's one for you. You would have to modify your size, do math to work it, but it still give you another idea to play with. I love this pattern.http://www.windhamfabrics.net/images...thats_love.pdf
