Io have made several like peckish psted. Sewed three 2-1/2" strips together, then put another three strip section on top, sew both sides together, cut into triangles using a square ruler. sew together. I just use whatever strips I have and I think they look great. I have posted pictures on this board. Scrappies were hard for me at first because I like the matchy matchy. Now I love the random scrappies also.
