Swapped out the "PINK" for another batik -
With a variety of different colors - ;))
I cut a couple of strips to make some of the larger HST -
For Gene's HST Medallion Quilt -
Using my LEFT-EZE™ Rule -
Put the "darker" one on bottom -
Trimmed the selvedge -
First cut - black tip of the ruler at the top of the strip set -
Cut UP the LEFT side of the ruler -
Turn the ruler so you can read "This way for a STRAIGHT cut" -
Black tip of the ruler at the bottom of the strip -
Cut UP the LEFT side of the ruler -
Turn the pieces over so the "darker" one is on top -
And the FLAT edge is at the top -
Sew from the FLAT edge to the pointy end -
Press to the "darker" side -
Measure it -
And I have ONE dog-ear to trim -
It doesn't get much easier than that, folks! -
No cutting a square first and then trimming it down -
No paper to remove -
Just cut it - sew it - press it -
Trim ONE dog-ear -
And you're DONE - ;))
I had more "chores" today - so I didn't get very many sewn -
But tomorrow is another day - LOL - ;))
Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -

Ooooh, I do like this choice better. Bonus points, because it adds a bit more contrast.
No matter which batiks you choose, I love it!
Wish I could see the colors in person because it is hard to see if the values contrast enough. Nice lesson.
