Re: hot mess
So, glad you could post a pic. I don't know,,,,I think I would sew two halfs together, white to print, make some squares, square them up to smallest size and find a design that pleases you. These are not a loss! Make "lemonade"...
Boy, have I done that!

Re: hot mess
You can do it!. Just sew them into a square. They'll be pretty. Or, you can take a square and use them on each side. You will form a larger square. Wait...that doesn't make very good sense. Take a 5 inch square and sew the triangle s to each edge and it will make another square.

somehow I knew you'd have a few suggestions Terry. I actually cut out another set of 10' blocks, because I really did want to do the Tranquil quilt. But my mind has been spinning on how to use these crazy pieces. If anything else comes to mind.....please don't hesitate to rattle my cage.

Re: hot mess
If you turn those triangles into hourglass blocks, you're most of the way there to an ohio star quilt:

Jenny has done a tutorial for that, too!

Re: hot mess
I was screwing around with a layer cake, and made your block. You can make a quilt from those.

Re: hot mess
For the life of me I can't come up with the name of the block....just had a aha! moment....it is the hour glass block....but all you have to do is turn the bottom one around and sew to the top one. I made a baby quilt where I put a narrow sashing between them. Yours are going to be really small. I would make a bunch of them and play with how you could use maybe 4 or so to make a bigger block. then put sashing between. Google hourglass block for inspiration.
