Wow ladies,

I appreciate all of the great advice!! This is my first endeavor at HST's and it has been an...... ah.... an eyeopener, to say the least!! Yuck, and I just bought a pattern day before yesterday to do a king-sized carpenters star, which I believe is alot of HST's, (I could be wrong though; I haven't had a chance to sit down and really look at the pattern yet). Earlier, I was griping to my hubby about the messed up triangles, and he said that maybe I should go cut it out again and use the other method (drawing the line corner to corner). I think I will do that. You all have given me hope! LOL Thanks!
