DUH!!!!!!
I have been chain piecing almost as long as I learned to piece on my sewing machine. Okay, its not all that long, but it is at least 5 years. I have read and reread Bonnie K. Hunter's (Quiltville) technique on leaders and enders since this past December. Why is it, that the light just went off in my head to do this? I complain to myself that the fabric keeps getting caught under the needle, or the thread bunches up, whatever, and then the light goes off. I have been trimming flying geese blocks for another mystery quilt that I am doing, and I am saving the triangles that I've cut off. Then I read a post on the Quiltville chat about leaders and enders and I started knocking my head into the monitor. What a freakin' dingbat. Okay, so now I'm going to finish these clues for this mystery and then go through all my bins that I created last weekend and take out all the pieces that could be leaders/enders. I might have myself another whole quilt. Just imagine Renee kicking herself. AAARRRGGGGGHHHH!!

I couldn't get my head round it to start with either. Then it clicked!
I was doing leaders and enders for around 10 years of chain piecing. I laughed when I figured out it had a name. I have baggies of these little blocks and i made my cousins baby's quilt with the leaders and enders half square triangles.
