    scrappy top finished

    I have thousands (well, maybe not quite though it feels like it) of 2" squares so I decided to use some of them to make HST by stitching thru the center of the two squares and cutting off half. That meant I was throwing away the little triangles. And yes, I know that is not the most efficient way to make HST's, but as I said I have MANY 2" squares already cut. Every time I tossed a bunch of the little triangles in the trash, I cringed at my wastefulness so I decided to try and make something with them. Here's what I came up with and I am kinda pleased with it.

    ​Great way to use up your triangles and a super quilt! The triangles in the undulating rows remind me of little mountains.

    You did great! I love the whole thing! It is wonderful and I really love the way you put the triangles on a curve! Are they pieced or done like prairie points?

    I put a very small piece of fusible to hold them in place and then did a small zig zag stitch to keep them in place. I only placed them in an undulating curve where ever I thought they looked "right". Made enough blocks that the dimensions looked "right", added the black sashing. I knew it needed something else and as I mentioned I have an ample supply of 2" squares -- the square in square border. This was really fun since I had no specific goal in mind. Just put something together that pleased my eye.

    That's what I thought they looked like, too... like mountains or rolling hills. What else do they look like? Like fabulous! You are too, too creative!

    Wow! Well worth the triangle waste. Your quilt is very original, modern and very interesting.

    It is a great quilt. It does not at all look like a scrap quilt. It looks like you designed and found the fabrics for it.
