Waste Not - Want Not
#26
This is wonderful! So glad you posted it here. I don't always have an opportunity to search other sites so I like to catch new ideas here.
I've always cringed whenever I "had" to waste those small triangles, thinking that they're too small to resew together. No more cringing! Thanks.

I do this method quite regularly. I have used the scrap HST in the same quilt or to make another.
I agree, why waste the fabric and the time is minimal. It is also easier to sew that diagonal while still attached than after it has been cut away!

I do this and friends will also give me 1/2 sqs. I used some of asian fabric and made Sunbonnet Sue goes to the Orient wallhanging. Right now I have several hundred chain pieced on my artwal. These will be Sunbonnet Sue gardens, with a giant sunflower.
