this is one quilt where I used the small triangles I cut off making the main blocks, and the patriotic one I used them up making the quilt wider.

well, i finally found a picture of a UFO that i made with tiny red and white triangles. i've always wanted a Tree of Life. i think it remained a UFO because i tried to micro quilt in the white space and didn't like the results. i unstitched the quilting that i'd done and i think the holes have disappeared now LOL

oh that is tiny!! I always thought I would make a large quilt with those tree blocks but never did. lots of work!!
|
I sew them together , and save for borders in scrappy quilts.
|
beautiful works ladies, keep them coming, and thanks for sharing your lovely works of art.
|
What terrific quilters we have in this group. It makes me want to dig out all my tiny triangles and attempt something. Not certain what, but the idea is forming.
|
WoW! I'm so impressed with the projects and creativity y'all have completed! Gives me hope lol

They end up being 2.5" and play nicely in a nine patch with plain blocks. I am not sure what I am going to do with the nine patches but they will be easier to deal with than the smaller blocks. I have been saving the trimmings in a baggie to give back to her - lol.

I also prefer Eleanor Burns ruler or doing HST's. Also, can't stand thangles - sorry, I know a lot of people love them.
Love all the ideas about the leftover triangles. All those quilts are gorgeous! |
All of the quilts are just wonderful. Great way to use small pieces.
