  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  4. Alicia, the effect will be similar with random strips for each block. The idea is to be as random as possible. I just didn’t make enough blocks to show it
