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

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.

I am in awe! But I'll be they will look really neat when finished in a quilt!

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!
