A Neat Trick I Learned on the Blueberry Hill Quilt

After I had finished the blocks for the Blueberry Hill quilt top, Michele G. from my guild gave me this tip! It would have been brilliant if I'd used it.

Whenever you sew squares onto corners of another square, before you cut those triangles off behind, sew another seam 1/2" outside the first one (toward the point), then cut in-between them. That way, you have assembled half-square triangles when you cut them off! Isn't that smart! Too bad I didn't know to do it, but I did save all those triangles for sure.
