I hope you come back here. Yes, you cut 8 squares of Lipstick and then cut them further into HSTs, which equals 16. You actually only use 15 of those particular ones, ha, so it could go into a future Postcard Pillow or tote bag even. Starch is a great help, (I forgot to do that - thanks for the reminder, yay, for only having 1/3 of the 36 fabrics cut) and it will help for lessening the fraying. Yay for a MAP parcel coming your way!Sandra Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17737049269550479188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372716062763623967.post-68943069189347386442022-01-20T19:57:44.390-05:002022-01-20T19:57:44.390-05:00Hi Sandra, I want to join this quilt along.

But then after they are cut diagonally there should be 16 triangles, correct? And assuming starch is gonna help reduce bias stretching. Got notice my kit has just shipped from Mad About Patchwork!
