While I haven't been getting as much sewing time as I would like lately, I have been cleaning up around my sewing room. I had these tiny little scraps left from a quilt I made years ago. They were the corners that got cut off from a snowball block. They were already sewn into HST so all I had to do was trim them. These little half square triangles finish at 1 inch!!! It's the smallest block I've ever made. I chose this star pattern - can you see how they are interacting?
It took longer to sew this top together than a baby quilt! I just worked on it one section at a time and soon it came together. I took a photo of each quadrant to make sure nothing got turned around while sewing.
I wanted to do something different for the quilting. Straight lines or diagonal lines didn't seem like they would work, so I thought of something curvy. I quilted a loop in every square alternating up and down so I could quilt across the rows. Not perfect, but I love the amount of quilting on it. It has nice texture and is laying perfectly flat.
I've also been working on 2 lap quilts, and I Spy quilt, and another wall hanging made from some bright leftover HSTs from another project. Nice to have projects laying around for when I can sneak in some sewing time.
