Strip and Slash, from Jackie Robinson (Animas Quilts) - these blocks are all small HST's and each block finishes to approx. 3 3/4 in. Yes, they are small, like scrappy jewels! I was not original in my finished design but made mine exactly as suggested - mostly because I was getting mixed up with all the various options. Her method is exact and precise - that's what I love, and the construction is unique. Look closely and you can see the many fabrics I used, all either LIGHTs and DARKs. I've used this technique previously over the years and viewers are frequently surprised to see how the mixture of small scraps turns into something so precise and attractive.
I checked my own libraary to find additional suggestions for HST quilt designs, and then found Karen Combs' Combing Thru Your Scraps, in which she includes many examples for HSTs, altho her method for construction is not the same. (That venture turned into yet another project ... currently a WIP).
Here is a close-up, including a faux flange binding, which eliminates hand stitching and taught by guild member Jody. (Oops, who sewed those blue pieces?)
