I feel so dumb.....
I'm making a PP square in a sq in a sq....I have the templates for the triangles so I won't have too much waste....thought I was so smart when I used the templates on 8 layers of 2 colors of fabric...that gave me 8 triangles at one time....it wasn't until I made about 100 that I realized something....that if I made a square and cut it 4 times, I cd make 32 at a time.....who knew?

I've done that. I just worked on a national designers paper piecing pattern that had you make twice as many triangles as what the pattern called for and it was an even number. I was just glad that I had my own fabric and didn't use her kit. I bet others run out of that particular fabric in the kit. Math is not my strong suit.

That does not qualify as dumb! If it does, then we are all dumber than door posts because I am reasonably certain that everyone who comes to this board had.the experience of figuring out they 'did it the hard way'! After they did it the hard way, of course!
