Colorful Start to Something...

I had a few scraps from a swap that I have been eager to play with.  Today I dove in.  I had seen a couple of table runners and baby quilts on pinterest using large triangles. I liked the way they looked so I decide to figure out a way to make something with triangles - actually they are rhombi.  I sewed pairs of two strips together and folded it in half with the seam down the center.   Based solely on the width of the strips, I measured - from the center seam - 3" on one end and 7" on the other and cut the angeled edge.  By doing this on both sides, I created a two-toned rectangle.  I cut the ends to square up the rectangle and sewed the rectangles together.  I am not sure where I will take this next.  I am thinking maybe gray borders, colorful bird appliques, or a baby's name, maybe cutting it in half lengthwise and creating something completely new... So many possibilities...
