Love this block. I had forgotten about this option. Thanks for the reminder.

You can create so many different designs with 1/2 square triangles they are amazing. I used to have a box of about a thousand of them- the kids used to lay on the floor and play with laying them out into different designs- we always took pictures of them. when they had one they loved we would sew them together and make a pillow, pillow case, quilt, skirt…
sit down with yours and play a little bit- you might just surprise yourself.

Oh, ckcowl, this speaks to my heart! This is the sort of thing I love doing to feel calm, excited, relaxed and invigorated all at the same time. Great advice!
