Lost Lake QAL Week One

Thank you for joining me in my first quilt along. This week I’m going to be covering cutting the fabric. I decided to give instructions for making the small half square triangles either 8 at a time or 2 at a time and you can decide whichever you are comfortable with. The large HST units are done with the two at a time method to prevent waste. Here are the week one instructions in the Lost Lake QAL:
