Found in box of scraps
 

I found the rectangles (approx. 4x7) in a box of scrap fabric I got from my DIL. I am marking them corner to corner, sewing them and then cut them like half square triangles so I can make all this into a quilt.

Great find and great plan! I think I am going to through my scraps today...

Try one first, they will not form nice rectangles like what happens with squares. When you open them they will be w. onky shaped!

Did not think about that

seems like a great plan for them. and i love your quotes

great find!

Can never have enough of scraps is my motto.. Makes the mind grow strong..

Can be done. You have to offset the diagonal by 1/4"

Can't be done like a HST, all you will get is a ice cream cone shape

Should be great.

See if this will help

Great find. Hope it works out the way you like!

Thanks Ngeorgia for the great tute, once again fantastic quilters come thru with answers to our quilting issues.

The Modern Quilt Guild has a tutorial for making rectangles instead of hst,

I am a member, I do not know if the link will work if you are not a member.

I will be watching to see what you come up with.

Sounds like fun!

Let us see what you have done when you are finished ! I cannot wait to see !

Be sure to show us how it looks when you've got it made.

Would love to see what you finish with!

Depending on how you put these together, they can fake the look of curves.

Sound like a great idea...
