Yesterday was chilly and rainy, so a perfect day for staying in the house and sewing. I can check off one of my goals for the week.
The September section for Saturday Sampler is all done. In the pattern this unit appeared to use a single background, and a single fabric for those triangles. I decided to go with totally scrappy instead. It's kind of strange looking alone, but looks OK with the other units.
There were all those corners trimmed off - and of course they were too big to just throw away. So all 16 of them are now 2.5" HSTs. They will end up somewhere eventually.
I don’t throw away the bonus HST’s either. I just found a bag of them and will use them for placemats for meals on wheels. The Saturday sampler looks interesting…. Gail at the cozy quilter.
ReplyDelete2 1/2” HST’s are useful and when they are already sewn and trimmed, bonus! I just love scrappy vs all the same fabric which can be a bit boring.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty colorway!
ReplyDeleteGreat choice for the background,it makes the colors pop!
ReplyDeleteI love the scrappy look. I always save my HSTs and a friend always gives me hers.There’s always so much you can do with them.
ReplyDeleteI love the subtle colors of this strip of blocks! Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteYes it is even chillier today, where did our Indian summer/early fall go!!!
ReplyDeletePretty colors, Sara! I like it scrappy! I hope you're better at using bonus HSTs than I am--I have a big basket full that I am really inclined not to use...
ReplyDeleteVery pretty colors. Looking forward to seeing all the components together in a finished quilt top.
