I am always looking for blocks to use up my scraps. Thank you for sharing

What is the name of your pattern and where is it available?

Are you cutting the little triangles off each piece before you sew anything? It looks like the picture of a quilt I saw made with the binding tool.

Tartan, that is a great block! Thanks for sharing. Pet the fabric, yours is a little different, but I like the results.

I am laying one rectangle over the other at a 90* angle (like when you join binding strips) sewing the 45*and trimming off the extra. I believe MadQuilter said the name was Twist and Shout from the Jan/Feb 2006 Quiltmaker magazine. It had instructions for 2 sizes, 3X9 or 2X5 inch rectangles. The 3X9 would work into a quilt top faster but the smaller size will allow me to use up mores scraps.

Great idea sewing them into blocks, Tartan. I sewed mine into rows and then sewed the long rows together.

I found that I had more scraps that could be cut into 2x5.

What a great scrap buster block. Can't wait to see more.

I take small triangles and sew them onto my ongoing scrap quilt. Just put right side down over a space you need filled, sew the diagonal, flip it and blanket stitch the two remaining edges. Kinda like small flying geese set randomly over your scrap quilt top. Love them small triangles.

The pattern is in one of the "Modern" books. It's very simple to figure out. The long strips are unfinished 8x 2 1/2". The half square triangles are 2 1/2" unfinished.

Masculan patterns are few and far between. Then add to that the needs for flannel. This pattern is a winner.
