It's all about those little details and being willing to experiment, keep trying new things! This takes practice, color matters and with practice it gets easier.
Great, The rectangles, let's call them A is 2"x5", The top and bottom rectangles cut off (B)are 3 1/2"x 2" you need 8 in one direction and 8 reversed in the other direction. The squares for the ends of A are 2"x2" squares (C) 464 from neutrals or whites. Then the piece on the top of the ends is also a 2"x2" square cut in half. Let me know if you need more.
I don't understand how the squares cut in half would make a corner triangle big enough. It seems that it would need an extra quarter inch for it to match the other triangles??
Good question. The template pattern is a 2" square. when you sew it in place, not on the angle but on the flat top of the angled piece it is actually bigger than needed. It's a funny deception when you look at it. Took me a while to figure it out also. As you put the two half square triangles in the corners(top or bottom of columns) it develops a flat top. Hope this helps, let me know if you need more instructions.
I am thinking about doing this without the smashing piece. It would let me add another column oh scraps. Will it be hard to line up and will I lose the points is my wonder..
This is a wonderful idea. I would treat it like an on point quilt. Just make rows of 2 1/2" square then a block, then square then block. And just run it on a diagonal. This is doable. Can't wait to see your results.
Each column has 27 brick & then you create a top & bottom brick with 1/2 sq. triangles. How about we make 29 brick columns & just cut off the tops & bottoms off after everything is assembled. Less work & there'd be little waste to be added to the scrap pile. Suzanne in 🇨🇦
I love what you do with your scraps for what ever reason I never seam to come up with the same affect that you get. Love watching your videos.

I just might try a smaller version. Looks like fun. Thank you!!
Thank you for your enthusiasm! I'm glad you're inspired to give it a try. Have fun with it! Let me know if you need any help.
❤❤❤
Thank you so mush glad you liked it. Do hope you will give this pattern a try.
I'm interested in the dimensions for the pieces used in a smaller quilt.
