Welcome to the Tiny Piecing Sampler


Make 6" or 12" quilt blocks with these foundation paper pieced patterns - perfect for scrap busting or leftover fabric


Last year, 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, you can find links to all the patterns here.)

I want to keep the momentum from the last year, and have decided to post tutorials for quilt blocks that use the 1", 2" & 3" Scrappy Triangles in my Tiny Piecing Collection. (You can find patterns 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.




I'd love to see what you make! Post pictures on Instagram with the hashtag #TinyPiecingSampler and tag me, @sewn.by.leila.gardunia

Block 52 - Year of Scrappy Triangles


Here it is! The last 6" Scrappy Triangle.




I feel like we need to have a party. Everyone just plan on coming over to my house this evening with all their quilt blocks. :) Because we did it! One year of weekly Scrappy Triangles! That is huge. Give yourselves a big pat on the back and go brag to a friend. :)

My Scrappy Triangle Layout
I have to admit something. I jumped ahead and made the last few blocks early and my finished quilt is at the quilters right now. (!!!) I cannot wait to get it back and show you! Because I have been using low-volume/lights all year, the pattern is fairly subtle, but I like it. I wanted something calm and neutral for my bedroom. If you can call a quilt with hundreds of different fabrics calm?  :)

Looking forward, I am going to start a smaller short term scrappy project. Next week I am going to start posting mini tutorials for quilt blocks made with the smaller 1", 2" & 3" Scrappy Triangles. There will be both 6" and 12" options and there will be 12 blocks total. I've made a couple up and they are so. stinking. cute. Stop by next Tuesday and see first one. (You can find the patterns for the 1, 2 & 3" Scrappy Triangles in my Craftsy or Etsy shops.)

Sneak Peek!
I am also getting ready to announce the details of a Scrappy Block of the Month pattern for 2019. It is specifically designed to use scrap fabric and is pretty epic, if I do say so myself. I'll be sending out all the info via newsletter, plus a newsletter only coupon code in a few weeks. If you haven't signed up yet, you can do so here. It will be the best way to make sure you don't miss it.

Thanks again making Scrappy Triangles along with me this year. It was so much fun! (hugs and high fives all around!)

Block 50 - Year of Scrappy Triangles

Free 6" foundation paper pieced, half square triangle (HST), quilt block patterns perfect for using up leftover fabric and scraps


A couple of weeks ago, I counted up all my blocks and found I needed to make a ton more to have enough for a queen sized quilt, so I drafted this block. Quick, easy and great for larger scale prints!

Block 49 - Year of Scrappy Triangles

Free 6" foundation paper pieced, half square triangle (HST), quilt block patterns perfect for using up leftover fabric and scraps

It's starting to feel like fall! Well, not really. It's going to be in the 80's today, but the leaves are starting to change colors. I tried to use some of the fall colors in these blocks.

This is another scrappy triangle that would look great repeated. I really have a thing for small triangles with perfect points. :) Enjoy!
