Rhonda, I finally got to using the templates that I received from you. Here are a few pictures of a bookmark and key chain/luggage tag I made. Note to self: don't try to put 2 side of a book mark together, it is kinda hard LOL. Enjoy and thank you again for the templates, I will be using them again.

Those are adorable! I love little things! I am having fun with the Dresden Kaleidoscopes- I'll have to try the blocks.

I had received some 2" or 2 1/2" squares that were already sewn together from my mom, i just added the piece on the bottom for the "big" triangle. I just picked what I liked since the sew squares were floral.

Rhonda,

Thank you so much for sharing. I'm heading now to make my first Boston block. Your directions will make it so much easier.

So once upon a time I had this quilt in mind...it involved more than several (term used loosely) triangles. It was my second foray into making a quilt, and I got about 1/2 of it cut out, then stopped because, frankly, cutting all of those tiny triangles was just too tedious.
You, friend, are wonderful for sharing this little shortcut. I may have been way past "newbie" by now, had I not given up and left all those pieces in a plastic bag (and subsequently gave away never to see the light of a quilting day again).

THANK YOU for your insight.
