Congratulations to Sallie the 11th commenter. You are the winner of Thimbleberries HST pouch.
Thank you to all that visited and especially to those that commented on my blog during my birthday giveaway. Thank you for the birthday wishes.
Next I would like to show how I get all my extra half square triangles (HST).
I get these (extras) while making fly geese blocks, houses, trees or other blocks that use square pieces to make triangle corners. I'll show a house block that gives me 2 extra HST.
