Thanks for the tute!

Thanks Rhonda. I've used your first method before but might try the other methods some time. I don't like to piece. I've come to that conclusion but thanks to your tutorials I'm not "afraid" of some things like HST and Boston Blocks. :)

Fantastic tutorial, I'm always looking for a better way! Thank you so much for sharing.

You just keep making a good thing better don't you. I prefer the strip method and to be honest, if I have to try to make a Boston Block, Half square, or even a Kansas Dugout, I have to do it your way. It's the way my brain functions now. :)

the first two methods result in four bias edges, which can be difficult to work with (for me at least, have to be way too careful with all 4 sides). the last method is the one i often used to make the block.
I always tack my blocks together where the seam is going to go through. So there is no stretching as the material is fixed in place where I am going to sew. |

I have listened to all the comments and I am trying to improve the tutes so it takes into account those who need to not have any waste left. That isn't a consideration for me as I reuse everything down to threads but I do understand others' point of view. |
Thank you :) It took a lot of time to photo plus process description. I still like the rough cut best; sooner to sew than cut.

Thank you, Rhonda! As usual, you've outdone yourself! I've been using your old method, but I can see it needs tweeking. :)
