Have you done this? I never thought of doing it that way.

wow, me too. never thought of that. only concern would be fabric waste. but sounds really smart to me.

I just saw this tute on the Missouri Quilting Site, I think it was. I am just a little apprehensive about all the bias on the outside. Quick work in the beginning may make for more work in the end. Time taken to starch, etc. and keeping all those seams from stretching. Still have to try it.

I had no trouble sewing these, even without starch. It is so fun...posted my finished quilt here "5 kids, 5 quilts". HST have so many uses. And never sewed a triangle piece of fabric yet.
