    Hi Jan - I remember you from the original Board and am so glad to have found you once again. Now, if I can figure out how to bookmark you (or whatever it is now called) I will really be happy.

    Thank you for these useful pages of triangles for blocks and borders! I make a lot of Project Linus quilts and these borders will set off some one-block centers I have started. See photo attached.Name: pt-BoardIndividualBlock.jpg Views: 161 Size: 180.0 KB
    All that I will have to do is make a wide plain border and then continue on with one of your neat tricks. Thank you.

    Question how to use triangles that are already cut?

    These are wonderful ways to use "freshly cut" half square triangles, however I have another question: I have a lot of triangles that were cutoffs from another project (45 degree diamonds). Does anyone have suggestions about using those little pieces that are no longer part of any square? I'm thinking just be really careful not to stretch out the bias edge. Any other tips?

    Carol,
    I have a shoebox full of individual triangles cut from other projects. When I'm bored, tired, have a few spare moments, I sew triangles together in light/dark pairs. Doesn't matter if they "fit" as I trim them later to size. Now when I want HSTs for our guild's community quilt projects, I have a good head start.

    What an awesome, and easy to understand tutorial! Sometimes I have a hard time understanding things if they are not in plain simple terms for newbies like me. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING, JAN!!!!
