GramE, beautiful block. I love the colors. When I make pairs of HST's like that, I cut a square of each fabric an inch or so bigger, lay them right sides together, draw a diagonal line corner to corner, sew 1/4 inch on both sides of the line, cut on the line and voila, I have two HST's that I trim down to size. If I am making lots of them, like for a Carpenter's Square, I use the "Magic 8" method. I would post a link to that, but I don't know how.

thanks for the help, though. And everyone's kind words.

katsdar I received the blue green squares and wonder what colors you would like added. I was thinking WOW or did you want me to try and match any of the colors in the squares?
