Everyone's kind words are appreciated. I just hate to see fabric wasted...I was raised by Depression Era parents...the waste not, want not; use it up or do without generation. Their philosophy spilled over into my generation! I have learned to make flying geese blocks without corner squares that produce waste triangles, although I will admit it's hard to make snowballs any other way. In the BH quilt above, I cut a trapezoid template to make the frame around the 9P, rather than sew squares on the corner of a rectangle. Two less waste triangles that way!
