    I think it turned out great. I also think the waste is minimal and if you are using scrap fabric to begin with (like I did) you really aren't wasting any. Besides, if the waste isn't that small, you can use it again for another Rhonda Woodsmall Method block. They rock. I've made one so far and I loved the technique and VERY LITTLE WASTE.

    Did you use her templates with this block? Confused with what she offers - maybe because I am new to the board. Can anyone explain this to me?

    Thanks,

    Never heard of this either, it almost looks like fabric is folded and just sewn in the seam, I am off to google this and look this up.

    I just downloaded her e-book for Star Points Blocks. I am excited to try her method. I have watched a couple of her tutes and think it is the answer for me. Several years ago I decided to make a flannel quilt for my son & DDIL and thought I would do it in triangles. Never thought of starch, or any of the other hints here. I haven't done triangles since. I figure it is time to suck it up and advance to something more difficult. And they look so great when finished. I love yours

    Jerrie I love how this one came out for you!! Love love love the colors and prints!! Yes you can manage the waste by cutting the swatches to minimal but I prefer to have larger swatches then after I cut out the block I pull the leftovers apart and resew them together for another block. It is just faster. And anything that is too small for the project I am working on I make smaller blocks from them or I use them in a Crumb block or use them for smaller projects. I never throw anything away until it is just threads left! LOL
