I watched as stacks and stacks of little triangles were being disposed of (I think it was the other 1/2 of the corners sewed into the white squares)
well, I grabbed all those triangles, and bartered for some of the other left-overs and started sewing till I came up with . . .

It's not the fastest way to put together a quilt, but there's something about using free scraps and creating something pretty with it that someone will adore that is very therapeutic to me.

Oh, I do love using up someone else's scraps! Haha! I get better ideas with those than with my own scraps!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely little quilt! I love it.
ReplyDeleteHow sweet! Somehow, free scraps are better than your own scraps!
ReplyDeleteSo cute!
ReplyDeletewhat a way to recycle, the fabrics are too lovely to waste!
ReplyDeleteAdorable little quilt. Guaranteed to bring smiles to a little one.
ReplyDeleteso sweet - I am a trash stalker at quilting events as well.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty little quilt! I always stitch two lines when I'm sewing those corner triangeles - then when I cut them off, the HST is already made! I toss them in a little bag and pull them out when I've got enough for a small quilt or border. Whoop whoop for your pretty finish!
ReplyDeleteI'm just now getting around to visiting the Let's Bee Social links and I LOVE what you made out of your free scraps! Very resourceful! It's beautiful!
