Hello! Here is the paper piecing pattern for Block 19 of a Year of Scrappy Triangles. This scrappy half square triangle focuses on using up all the narrow strips that haunt the bottom of scrap baskets. Well, at least mine. I could have made 20 of these blocks, no problem.

This block also has a great secondary design. The great thing about paper piecing is that you can get those narrow strips to match up every single time. Brilliant!



Next week, we will have a Scrappy Triangle link-up and giveaway! You will be able to post a picture of your 20 Scrappy Triangle blocks and everyone who links a picture of all 20 blocks will be entered to win this cute fat quarter fabric bundle. If you have fallen a bit behind - or want to start! - now is the time to catch up. It sounds a bit overwhelming, and if they were 'real' quilt blocks, it would be a lot of work, but these blocks really do go together quickly. You could start now and have them done in two weeks without too much trouble. Grab a friend, grab your scraps, and get sewing!
