Guess I am too because I can't either. Unless it is her HST units are now too small but There are some good suggestions here to still utilize them. Especially Holice's. However, Rachel's really cute idea of framing them to get them up to size could be another option. AAARRGH decisions !!! ;)

Hahaha...guess I'm really really dumb because I don't know what an HST is.

I decided to make my border HST's....so I cut a bunch of blocks, chain sewed them down the middle and then tried to cut them 1/4 inch away from the seam.

DUH!!!! Sigh.

Hey I did that one time. I feel your frustration.

Been there, done that and had a good laugh after cussing a bit. Make lemonade out of lemons and make two quilts :-)

When mistakes hand you lemons, make lemonade. Wish I had a nickel for every time I did something like that.

I also had to think about it. the seams go 1/4 inch from the middle of the seam, and then you cut down the middle. I think this is right. I would have done the same thing. Live and learn.
