A unit is initially described as "Cut 1 square 6-7/8" x 6-7/8". Cut in half diagonally to make 2 triangles. You need 2 triangles". Then in the piecing diagram, it says, "Piece 12 half square trianges (HSTs) of A". B unit is originally described as "B - Cut 9 dark squares and 6 light squares 2-7/8" x 2-7/8". Cut each in half diagonally to make 2 triangles.You need 18 dark and 12 light triangles." So, A and B units are switched between the cutting directions and the piecing directions.lalaluuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14580283923549389072noreply@blogger.com
