I paired them with rectangles like this and sewed down the hypotenuse of each triangle using an approximate 1/4 inch seam.
Then I cut away the excess colored fabric . . .
. . . and pressed open the resultant square.
I found that I could also pair single white triangles with any colored scrap of approximately the same size.
Here are some of the 1/2 square triangles I made:
I like these blocks, but even though I did them without any measuring, they don't look very wonky. I suppose that's because I started out with the precut white triangles.
I look forward to doing some Log Cabin style blocks next, and hope to be caught up to everyone else by the end of the week.

I like your blocks! What a great use of the white HST. Pretty colors too! Have a great Sunday!
Oh, those are darling! I like how bright they are with the white. Love the name of your blog!
Very cute blocks!
Very cute! Love that middle blue one.
Your blocks are looking great. It was great that you came up with a way to use those extra triangles...that's what crumbing is all about. :)
Thanks, ladies. You are all so very encouraging!
This morning I've been working on the log cabin blocks and hope to be able to post a link before I have to go to work.
