First I dug through my stash for solids including some from a mini charm pack that somehow found its way home with me and part of two mini charm packs that I got in my goodie bag from the Quilt Alliance, Quilters Take Manhattan home ticket. I also used yardage cut into 2" wide strips. I cut the triangles with my "peakie" ruler. I had to trim off 1/2" from the 2 1/2" squares, then cut the triangle shape.
Each row is going to have 8 triangles and two setting triangles on the end.
I cut those with the "spike" ruler, also from 2" pieces.
The little notch at the top of the spike ruler helps you to align the setting triangle for sewing.
I've got two rows done so far and now I'm working on making more tiny made fabric.
This is fun! Thanks for the challenge, Victoria! :D
