I picked out 21 different solids and cut 5-inch strips from each, then subcut into 796 triangles plus lots of half triangles from the start and end of each strip. I spent several evenings cutting three strips at a time and piling the pieces in a big basket. Now I am randomly stitching the triangles together into long rows. Eventually it will be time to lay them out and make sure the colors really do look random. Right now I am adding triangles in leader-ender fashion as I play with other projects. Eventually I may actually finish a UFO.
Here are several triangle projects by other quilters:
Cathy at saneandcrazy.blogspot.com is playing with 60-degree triangles from 2.5-inch strips. LINK
Sassyquilter 60-degree triangles (okay, this was a quilt-along from 2014) LINK
