Hope you are learning a bit about quilting and if you are a seasoned quilter hope you are seeing something you’d like to try in a new quilt.  
The Quilt Ladies teach you how to quilt.
One End Triangle
On the smaller square, draw a light pencil line from
corner (size as in pattern)
to corner with a ruler, on wrong side of fabric, this is
your sewing line.
When you go to the sewing machine,
sew just to the left of the line or toward the part that
will be cut off. Sew only a thread or two from
the line making the piece turn easier.
