I love my Geek!
Sometimes it is entirely too awesome being married to a math head. I LOVE that man! I wanted to make this pillow I'd been ogling on Crazy Mom Quilts. I knew I needed some 80 paper equilateral triangles to do this project. I wasn't too keen on her method of cutting them out individually. SO, I asked my sweet Loverbrains if he could figure a faster method.
I think he sort of thought it was a fun challenge. He figured it up so that I can get 10 out of one sheet of printer paper. Yeah!!! Much faster!!! For those interested, you cut the paper down to 10 1/2" by 6 1/16"....then measure 3.5" on the long side and connect the dots/corners diagonally...and then connect the bisecting lines down the center.
Ta-da....I'm a cutting queen!
I have a huge bag of bitty scraps...and love the whole "waste not, want not" concept!
Here are the first 2...Just 78 more to go. SEE? I did MATH too!

Can't wait to see the finished product. I can't throw away my scraps, I have a huge tote full of them.
That kind of computation is beyond me. Looks like a cute idea!
Love when our hubbies help us with our hobbies.
Think you need to keep him.
