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.
