I did one with the strips I got from the strip swap on this board earlier this year. I pieced it on the machine, then cut into triangles and restitched into squares, added sashing and binding from my own stash, as well as fleece batting/backing. I am currently in the process of hand quilting it. Sorry the colors look so faded in this picture!

DebraK, I love all your blocks, especially the star triangle but I don't have the x-block ruler. Can I use something else, or just cut the triangles? What size is the triangle? Thanks so much for the ideas.

I used 3 strips. The white strip and outside color are 2-1/2" strips, the middle strip is 2-1/8". I had to use these widths to make the X-Block template work.
