The quilt pattern consists of two pieces. A triangle and then a rectangle which will be cut in half diagonally. Some of the fabrics that I really, really want to use are too small for the triangle so the question. Can the pattern pieces be reduced in size and still work? I know that will require more sewing and piecing but as I have only done squares and small strips sets, I thought it best to ask the experts.

If you have any questions, let me know. I am off to work and will check in when I get home. Have a great day.
