It seems like an easy block...I just don't want to waste fabric (unless I am missing something with the extra fabric).
Have a great weekend everyone

I just posted a baby quilt under Pictures using the 5 minute block. It came out wicked cool.http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...l-t203348.html

I am not sure you are actually wasting fabric. I say that because if you used a regular triangle for piecing the block, you would have to cut off the corner of the rectangle so the reality is that you are just swapping one for the other (if that makes sense).

I finally got the book. At first the block was confusing as the bottom of the triangle seemed to be 1/2" longer then the bottom of the block. With careful folding and pressing it worked out fine. I used layer cakes cut in half to make the blocks so it took less time then 5 min. to make.

This looks so easy! I was really amazed at the different looks depending upon how the block was turned. Definitely a pattern to keep, especially if you need to make a quilt in a hurry for a gift. Thanks, for posting!
