A hint for next time - draw a line across the small blocks, corner to corner, and sew just a thread off the line toward the corner that will be cut off. The line helps me to sew straighter on these little pieces. Also, turn off (or way, way down) the steam on your iron. Steaming can make the fabric stretch wonky when pressing.

Thanks for the tip! I did draw a line, but I sewed directly on it. I will try to sew a thread off next time. I don't use steam, but I think I was off when I cut the blocks to begin with. I have degenerative disc disease in my neck and sometimes rotary cutting aggravates the pain and affects my accuracy. I think this round of blocks will do fine!

WOO HOO can't wait to get that box and will be watching for the rest

When I swap out my goal is to just send you back one of yours and if we are short you may end up with some doubles but they shouldn't be your own- I am hoping

Used my leftover HST to make two small wallhangings. Since I did 2 siggie squares using the same end material I ended up with 4 HST of each color which worked out great for pinwheels! Planning to machine quilt. My DD is bringing home a Brit and a Kiwi from camp so I thought I'd give them these as a small souvenir.
