This little finish is only 12" x 16". It's totally made from trimmed half square triangles from the Farmhouse Stars wall hanging. I still have a few more HST that I could have used, but I just liked the rectangular look of this. It's a good size for a candle mat.
Farmhouse Stars is now a flimsy and I found a backing fabric in the stash yesterday. I need to check my batting leftovers to see if I have something big enough to use. If not, then I guess I'll need to buy some batting. I'm planning to begin quilting it over the weekend when the daily high for a couple of days could be below zero. I've challenged myself to finish it completely before I can start any new projects.
As for "nearly done" items - I have the fabric to add a couple of borders to a previous Saturday Sampler quilt. And I have the last 2 blocks to make for our current Saturday Sampler yet.
It's such a pretty mini. I love the "free" quilts made from trimmed HST's. I look forward to seeing your finish after the weekend. Stay warm!
ReplyDeleteNice!!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! Can you believe that some people actually throw the "waste" HSTs away? Silly, silly people.
