To maximize your time and fabric, all sizes use the 8-at-a-time HST
method. In this method, each pair of squares will yield 8 HSTs. For

TIP! If you don’t care for this method, check out this HST conversion
chart for different assembly techniques using different sized squares:

HSTs needed, you can use any of the three methods shown in the
conversion chart, though changing the method may affect your
fabric requirements. Fig. 1 Fig. 2 Fig. 3

1. On the back of each 8" (Baby) or 10" (other sizes) Background

square, draw two guidelines diagonally, one horizontally, and
one vertically. Fig. 1 NOTE: The horizontal and vertical guidelines
aren’t required, but they can help when trimming later. Try it both
ways and see what you prefer.

2. Pair each marked Background square with a Color square. Place Fig. 4 Fig. 5
right sides together, pin, and sew a seam ¼" away from each
diagonal guideline on both sides of the guidelines. Fig. 2

If making the Throw size with FQs, lay 2 - 5" x 10" rectangles
next to each other on top of the remaining Background squares,
right sides together. Pin in place and sew a seam ¼" away from
each diagonal guideline on both sides of the guidelines. Fig. 3

Baby, trim to 3 ½" square. For all other sizes, trim to 4 ½" HSTs using the technique in Fig. 6,

TIP! There are different ways to trim HSTs based on your Fig. 7
preference. One way is to trim the blocks before they are pressed
open. As a helpful guide, place a piece of tape on your ruler at a QUEEN/

45° angle with the ends of the tape placed at the markings for the FULL
unfinished size of your HSTs. The tape will stretch diagonally from
the 3 ½" (Baby) or 4 ½" (other sizes) mark along the top of your Color 1 48 32 24 16
ruler to the 3 1/2" / 4 1/2" mark on the right side of the ruler. Align the Color 2 62 32 24 16
tape on the ruler with your sewn seam (not the diagonal edge of the
Color 3 48 32 24 16
