Maybe you know the difficulty some quilters have with wasting fabric. I probably keep more scraps than I should, and the condition of my quilting room is proof enough. One thing I absolutely cannot allow myself to discard are those cut-away HSTs that result when making flying geese units. I have more than a few sets of these tucked away in various nooks and crannies.
These 0.75-inch HSTs were cluttering up my workspace and have been since back in March when I made Snowbird Stars.
Almost immediately after I finished this quilt top, I sewed together those cut-away triangles; I even trimmed them. Then they just gathered dust for many weeks.
Finally, I have sewn them together and I yielded 11 blocks of 5x5 HSTs. Here is what 9 of them look like.
I do love it, and I am right glad that I saved those bits of oftentimes discarded fabric. They are tiny, but just look how pretty when stitched together!
Happy Quilting, Friends!
They look great sewn together in the blocks! I love using those bonus triangles for little quilts, too. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI save them too! I just have not figured out what to do with them yet. Yet, is the key word. Have a great day.
