Another drawer has been emptied, sorted and reorganized, and it yielded a few surprises. This was a deep drawer and buried in the bottom were 2 plastic bags holding leftovers from previous quilts that were finished long ago. I’ll admit I was almost afraid to look into those bags.
One bag was full of leftover Thimbleberries fabrics from a number of different projects from my past. Some of the pieces were fairly large, and others were just little scraps. And tucked in there were these 9-patch parts. I think these were extras but can’t remember from what. The top (and last) drawer in this cabinet holds a lot of Thimbleberries “stuff” - fabric and patterns. So now the leftovers have all been sorted, ironed, refolded, and that top drawer along with these 9 patches, which I finished before putting them away for some future project.
The other bag held the leftovers from a quilt I made several years ago, using the X Block ruler. You made 9-patch blocks, and laid that ruler on them at an angle matching up lines on the ruler it’s the seams, and then recut into a tilted block. There were 5 complete 9-patch blocks and the parts for 10 more, plus some yardage. These are 8 and 3/4 inches square which is kind of odd, but I think there is enough for a small quilt so I’m adding this to my UFO list for 2021.

At least you know what you have. Though I hate finding forgotten left overs. I never know what to do with them.
What pretty surprises for you!
