It is only wasted if you throw it away or never use it. I have always ended up using those scraps in other projects or elsewhere in the same project. A triangle that big has loads of uses.
:thumbup: :thumbup: One of my quilt "sisters" has such a knack for doing this...she has made several lovely quilts from her leftovers. She is somehow able to "eyeball" the scraps, come up with the pattern, and away she goes!...I only wish I were as talented...
