Yeessss, Bev. That's what the Hunter's Star blocks eventually look like.
But, if you squinch your eyes, you'll realize that the block can be composed
of half-square triangles and just plain big squares; no bias that can
stretch and no paper-piecing.
Only 56 more HSTs and we'll be ready to assemble. Happy day. Polly

thanks Bev, I had completely forgotton about the diamond shapes! Of
course, if one were really clever, one could sew 2 bias strips
together, a wide one and a skinny one, then slice off the star strips.
which maybe would result in a nice little diamond at one end of the
strip. One would still have to sew the other diamond on the other end.

Roberta! In the words of my beloved Puerto Rican friend who doesn't exactly
speak English, " Are you craycee?" Polly

You have to ask? It just sounds so logical -wish some clever person
would figure out dimensions for me, I'm way too lazy.
