Scrap 4.5 inch HSTs
Friday morning, as I was cleaning off the cutting table in my sewing room and organizing the box of scraps, I found a zip bag with some colorful half square triangles (HST). These HSTs were the "waste" cuts from the large flying geese on the quilts Come Fly with Me and Fly Away Home.

The HSTs were calling me to "play" a bit, so I did. As you can see, on the far left, I needed two more HSTs to complete the point. In a flash, I had two more HSTs and began sewing these bright pieces into a baby quilt.

    It did indeed turn out cute. I need to just take all my scraps and put them together and see what I come up with.

    It turned out great and it's a perfect size. It was meant to be.

    It did! I love baby blankets that aren't pastel. This one is destined to be some little person's lovey!

    Very cute!! What a great deal to put left-overs to work creatively. No one would guess you didn't have this planned all along. Primary colors and babies--they go together!
