They're great for cutting pieces for larger block designs -- including many of the same block designs! For example, if you need a 3-in. finished square for a 12-inch four patch block, you have that size square in Set A, along with its matching half and quarter-square triangles. If you need a quarter-square triangle with a 4-inch finished hypotenuse, you have that triangle in Set B, along with its matching square and half-square triangle. Etc. And you can use the same kind of tricks for eliminating unnecessary seams in bigger blocks, too.
