I had a pattern for a quilt called 'Balloon Flowers" last year, had over 300 HST and this CD was well worth having. After I printed off the first copy of the size I wanted, I wite-out the extra printing on the copy then just make as many copies as I need. I guess I'd rather save money on printing and use it on fabric.

Not really - it's a huge collection of different grids. Press a pair of fabrics right sides together, pin the grid to the back of the light, sew on the dotted lines, cut on the solid lines.
I did a Block of the Month called "Lady of the Lake" - nothing but HST's. Using Triangulations ensured that my blocks were exactly the same size from month to month.
Now, I'm working on a giant Swing to the Center (again, nothing but HST's) No matter how long it is between sewing sessions, the HST's and the blocks are going to come out the same size.
You can get a free pdf page of 1-5/8" HST's direct from Triangulations web site:

Thank you for the nice comments - I really loved how this one came out.
Yes, if you can open pdf's, the disc will work just fine for you.
I transferred everything to my hard drive so that I don't have to insert the disc every time I need to print something. So far, all I've used are the HST's, but there are QST's and flying geese on the disc, too.
