The HST steps down a step in each bar.

This was very helpful. Now that you explained it, it is clear. I should have been able to figure it out without help. My brain doesn't work as well as it used to. Many thanks. anne

Just remember two things. 1) To finish at 8”, the total length of the 2 strips in each row will always be 11”. 2) the diagonal lines change direction: first up the mountain, then down the mountain. The Jenny Doan tutorial doesn’t use strips; it uses big HST, cuts them apart then puts them back together.
