When I am making snowballs, or those angles where you have a corner and a square ... stitch and cut away the outside triangle?
I resisted sewing them together, thinking I would do something else with them, but finally ... while we were sewing, my friend and I did the "move over half an inch, stitch, then cut the teeny little HST away for another project.
Well, the other project did come along .. in the form of twenty five HST stitched together to use as a sampler.
On the mystery quilt we just finished, we sew a two inch square on to the corner ... I flipped the left over triangle back to see how big it would be if I made it into a HST ... now, I have a BUNCH of them! They will show up in some scrap quilt I make ... I put them in the middle of the crumb cake or a long side of something just to change an angle .. when they are that small, it is best to put them in the middle of a log cabin or something.
