What do I do with all those little leftover bits of fabric? How do I cut and piece those small bits accurately without going insane?
I’ve discovered the answer: foundation paper pieced Scrappy Triangles. There is no finicky cutting, they can use the smallest odd sized bits, and the piecing is always precise. The perfect solution!
They are a fun, fast scrap buster, but what do you do with them? The simplest thing, is to use them in place of half square triangles in any quilt block pattern. If the pattern says to make eight 3” half square triangles, make and use eight 3” Scrappy Triangles instead. Any pattern that uses HST can be made with the same size Scrappy Triangles. You can also make amazing secondary designs by arranging four Scrappy Triangles of the same pattern pieced half facing inward.
This pattern includes:
-20 different foundations for 3" Scrappy Triangles
-Bonus pattern for an 12" quilt block
