Who said Waste Triangles are garbage? Not I for sure. This small quilt is 29" square. Each Half Square Triangle finishes at 1 1/8". I was at two retreats last fall and at both of them friends were throwing away their Waste Triangles. I couldn't let that happen. So they would bring them to me in installments and one just stuffed her's in a baggie and dropped the baggie off. I had a lot of fun playing with them and trying to make them into something useful. with the borders on them they are now big enough for the small Project Linus quilts.
As to what else I have been doing. It is a lot of secret sewing. that phrase used to drive me nuts but I totally understand it now.
Piecefully, Joanne

Oh mercy, those are little! Great little quilt.
ReplyDeleteThis is the cutest little quilt. The border fabric is just perfect. Love that it picks up all the colors from the triangles. Great job! ;^)
ReplyDeleteThat is full of color and fun! I hope your friends are amazed by what you did with their waste triangles!
ReplyDeleteThose are tiny HST's! But what a perfect little quilt! It is hard to toss any piece of fabric...especially those!
ReplyDeleteGreat job making something lovely out of those HSTs. I admit I tend to toss them when they are that small. Thanks for linking up with Oh Scrap!
ReplyDeleteWaste triangles are wonderful, I collect them too tho I havent done anything constructive with them yet. LOL Yours is a great project!
ReplyDeleteHave FUN with your secret sewing!! I'm the crazy one in my group of quilting friends. You know the one? The one who collects those Bonus HSTs from others who think they are too small to sew with. Your quilt top turned out SEW cute!!!
ReplyDeleteI prefer the term bonus triangles to waste triangles. There is nothing wasteful about your beautiful quilt. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteIt just goes to show you that one person's trash can truly be someone else's treasure. That turned out beautifully.
