I decided to take the larger pieces of Marcia Derse scraps out of the project boxes and cut 3" finished triangles out of them. I pressed all of the strips and the other things piled on the ironing table.
Last night I sorted the triangles into piles of the same fabric. I'll do lots more cutting before I decide a use for these.
I sewed these 3 stratas which will become half blocks for the 'other 16 patch' quilt.
After pressing the blocks I made on Monday night, I trimmed them to 8.5".
Yesterday afternoon I remembered there were 3 partially pieced blocks left over in December when I made the first table runner top. It won't take too many strips to finish these blocks and I'll have my 5 for a new table runner.
This is the ruler I will use to trim the blocks so this one looks like one triangle shape and one strip will finish it.
It was another day in the 20s yesterday but 60s predicted on Friday and Saturday.
