You could put white borders around them (or black) and then square them up all wonky and make a quilt with hsts randomly spread across...

Here's what I did with some of mine

Terri D.

Pair them with neutral colored triangles to make half square triangles and use them in a scrap quilt.

Go to Bonnie Hunter's website quiltville.com - she has lots of ideas.

I added more corners/triangles to mine to make them larger. then used them as inner borders on this quilt

Oh I never thought of this...I'm using 1 gallon glass pickle jars to hold some 1 1/2" 9P's..Why not the butter churn my MIL used as a kid and gifted to me?

I just finished sewing 143 of them in a small 11 x 13 setting to use as a table runner. Here's a couple of wall sized quilted with leftover HST's[ATTACH=CONFIG]487523[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]487524[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]487525[/ATTACH]

And a table runner[ATTACH=CONFIG]487527[/ATTACH]

And yes even a miniature (1/2" finished HST)--nothing's too small....[ATTACH=CONFIG]487526[/ATTACH]

I've used lots of different colored triangles for borders around wallhangings to complement the center. It turns out so nice, it's well worth it.

I agree!!! I make several charity quilts that use 4.5" strips which are pieced into one long strip. The triangles left when excess is cut off at the bias seams is used to make 12" throw pillows. Just enough from these lap sized ( 6 strips around a center rectangle) to make the front of the 12" pillow, and excess backing fabric used for the back.....The pillows go with the charity cancer quilts to the recipients....both washable, and the pillow makes resting the arm much more comfortable!!

I would use them to make the back of the quilt more interesting!

Time to learn about "No Waste Flying Geese" I think if you google that, you may be able to find the directions. Also Eleanore Burns has another method of making flying geese, in which you have a little scrap left, but they are strips, not triangles. Ricky Tims has a one seam method, which uses more fabric, but are very easy, with no waste.
