What do you say we let everyone else in on what's going on?! 
Throughout 2018 the International Association of Quilters (IAQ) are running a Scavenger Hunt BOM.  On the first Wednesday of each month, the Guest Designer for the month releases a 9" (finished) block.

Tute: Using A Bloc-Loc To Cut Half-Square Triangle (HST) Squares

17 April 2014:

I've recently learnt how to 'slide' a too large Bloc-Loc along a diagonal seam to cut a smaller square - knowing this technique means if you buy the largest 12.5" Bloc-Loc, then you can use it for any size HST you ever need and don't need to buy lots of different Bloc-Loc sizes.  You can see how it's done here in my HST X Block Tute.


NB: If you're a 'press your seams open' girl, then the Bloc-Loc won't work for you; if you still want to use this great tool, maybe you could consider side pressing just for this part of your quilting?
