Last month, I shared some blocks I made from some scrappy leftovers a friend gifted me.
At the time, I was able to sew them into blocks but it wasn't until this month that I put the blocks together. Are you ready to see this cute little finish!?
Here is a bit of back story. I was gifted a bunch of trimmed off bonus triangles and some 1.5"ish strips from the side of some layer cake squares.
I quickly turned them into these fun 7" squares but due to other priorities, the project was hidden away so that I could finish some other items.
Once I had time to get the blocks back out, I sewed them up on point so that the strips on the sides of the block made a fun scrappy sashing.
That meant I had to sew a few more strips to the outer edge blocks which made sewing in the inset triangles a bit challenging. Plus, some of my strips were not quite long enough.
What to do? I just trimmed those points right off and made it a design element!
I then added a small background border in Kona Shadow so the blocks float. I bound it in an orange sketch print and quilted it with a panto called Popcorn.
I found a cute black and white print for the backing which looked like it belonged with this collection of fabric.
I used almost every bit of the leftovers that were given to me. I spent very little time cutting anything - I used the pieces in the size they were given to me.
Those little bits just wanted to be turned into a cute little quilt!
