Thanks bunches!! This way I can make at least half of my HST for my Ocean Waves quilt in no time, YAY :). The rest will be made from scraps, which are too small for this method, but now I have time for it.

I will ask the stupid question, which I should already know. When you begin to cut your fabric, do you pin them so they won't slip out of the lines? I have a problem that one part is larger than the other after I cut them.
