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.

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.

As you know I strongly believe each to their own. What works for one person doesn't always work for another. But if I can help anyone enjoy piecing a bit more then I am happy!!

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.

Thanks RUS I prefer the rough cut too. Most of what I do is usually scrappy and I try not to repeat a fabric. so the strip and square methods don't work as well when you are working with scrappy. I am too impatient usually to take all the time to do the prep required for the last two versions.
