I never throw away any fabric scraps left over from other projects.
I put them together by shape: squares, strips, triangles. This makes it easier when I decide to make a block like this one.

Very cool… I love the fact that such a simple block can be used in so many different patterns. Great idea. And like you, I never toss anything that can be used in a new quilt.

To get this effect, all your scrappy strips would have to be the same and sewn on the triangles in the same way, right? I wonder what this would look like with truly random strips. Guess I’ll just give it a try! BTW – love these short little tutorials.
