For the quilt make 16 small blocks.Take four of the blocks and form a large block.

For the 16″ pillow.
Using 25 of the left over triangles, trim to to 3.75″ squares. Please be sure to use the squared end of the ruler and one side isn’t an extra 1/2″ wide.

Press open. You should have a 3.75″ square. Repeat for all squares. Stitch squares five across and five down. Quilt.  Trim to 16.75″ square. Sew on the decorative trim.
