    Default Setting triangles

    My friend was challenged to make a quilt using only stash. She thought it would be a good times to use her earth tone collection (years of collecting 1 yard cuts). Of course it was scrappy 16 inch blocks set on point. Problem was she have large pieces in that color family. She collected several browns, golds, green & burgundy fabrics. Cut into strips & made a strata. Cut those into the right sized squares to make her setting triangles. It looked great, as if she had planned it. Another useful tip.

    Meant to say she didn't have large yardage of fabric to make her setting triangles.
