The mini quilt came together very quickly.
It's only 12" square so even with paper piecing it's a fast little project. I did replace the border fabric with something from my own stash that I liked better than what was in the kit. That left over kit fabric will be just fine in some upcoming QOV blocks instead so it won't go to waste.
I did get that last 60 degree runner fixed and bound. It's actually a match to one I made last year, so obviously I had purchased a lot of that border print at some point. I'm thinking both of these will be donated to an upcoming fundraiser.
This week I've been gradually sorting and clearing out another bin full of RWB patriotic scraps that needed to be used. The first time through was to make a red pile, a blue pile, and a neutral/light print pile. Then each pile was sorted into little scraps, strips, and large pieces.
I used some 2.5" strips that I found to cut into parts for 2 placemats. And the blue pile has been decreased a lot by cutting the pieces for more Gleam, Ticker Tape, Rail Fence, and Buckeye Beauty blocks for Quilts of Valor. Those pieces have been added to the appropriate design boards.
