I'm in.
So, 8" finished HST block. Bottom right light color, upper left fabric representing your area, home etc. Swap info on the lighter side.
Is this right?

Ok so maybe this is a dumb question is it a square block consisting of 2 triangles one light the left side and one Dark thr right side 8 1/2" or a triangle so she can take 2 people's triangles to make a square?

Anyway.....I will do whatever the majority decides.

This is the consensus:

Create a block consisting of 2 triangles. ====> 8 1/2 UNfinished for Carsey (It will make 8 finished).

The top left will be dark representative of state/country and the bottom right will be light and contain text.

Visual of block (Note: Not to size 8 1/2"):

I see at the bottom of the tutorial the block was upside down.

Upper left triangle dark, lower right triangle light with text. See pdf attachment.

OK. Got it. Guess my problem is I'm left-handed. My brain thinks the opposite of most people's. ;)
