I posted this link on the Kaffe forum but for those that have just joined, I find trimming Half-Square-Triangles before ironing them open is much faster. Take them to your cutting mat and lay them out with the seam toward you. You do not need the specialty ruler but if you do a lot of HST it is helpful. Nice to get with a coupon at JoAnn's or other box store.

I enjoy quilting more when the mundane tasks can be made a little faster or easier. Another example is if you have a group of chained pieces to iron [or press depending on how you do it] take the whole chain to your ironing mat and lay them down as a unit. You can also stack one ironed group on top of the other and cut two or more 'chains' at the same time.

WHAT DID I DO WRONG?

You will need to unsew the side triangles and the top square. That means that you will also have to unsew about half of the bottom seam Lay them out, turning them until they are in the correct position. Having the picture right next to the block will help. Then keeping them in order sew them one group at a time and check each time to make sure that they still go in the correct direction. after sewing them back on the upper basket finish the bottom seams. Hope this is helpful.

Oh, well.
