Welcome to the Tiny Piecing Sampler Quilt Along
In 2017, I shared a pattern for 6" Scrappy Triangles each Tuesday during the Year of Scrappy Triangles. It was so much fun to bust scraps with those foundation paper pieced half square triangles! (If you missed it, no fear! I have a Scrappy Triangle Sample pack with 5 free 6” foundations! Download it here.)
This year, I want to post tutorials for quilt blocks that use the 1", 2" & 3" Scrappy Triangles from my Tiny Piecing Collection. You can make these block with regular 1”, 2” and 3” half square triangles, but if you would like to make the Scrappy Triangle version, you will need to purchase the foundations. (You can find the 1”, 2” and 3” Scrappy Triangle Pattern bundle here.)
Each Tuesday for the next 12 weeks, I will post a tutorial for a 6" and 12" version of the same quilt block. I'll post links to all the blocks here. By the end we'll have enough blocks for a cute mini quilt or small throw. Swing by next Tuesday to find the first tutorial.

The 9-Patch Scrappy Stars pattern uses simple piecing and scrap-busting techniques to make fun, gorgeous quilts. It is perfect for someone who is looking to use up a lot of scraps or for a beginning quilter who wants to start with a very do-able quilt. It is a perfect 'first quilt' to make with your kids or grandkids and a fun fast finish for an experienced quilter.
The strip piecing instructions make cutting and piecing a breeze. You don't even have to make half-square triangles to get those fun star points!
