I love your mini quilt - they seem to be popular right now - I have one in process but I think like you its not really my thing. I do love your blog - I read it all the time.

Very pretty little quilt. I wish I had the patients to do work like that.

Both are beautiful! I can see why you saved the clippings! I know you said it was a pain in your keester but at least you've done it and really could do it again.

Beautiful use of your tiny scraps! I don't have your patience for using these small pieces and throw out all those little pieces. Thank you for sharing and I love your small quilt!

You did fantastic! It's so colorful for being so tiny!! Yes, I, too, moved it over 1/4" and got all those 1,000's of bonus HST's and decided one day to square them up. Never again! I thought 'this is crazy! All this fabric and I'm sitting here playing with this tiny stuff! hahhaa!! I'll leave it for the pros! It does take hard work and discipline and perseverance to make it through mini-making! But you learned alot and you proved to yourself you could do it and finish it!! Kudos!!!

Great use of cut-offs. I also save all mine as to me its "GOLD" and not to be miss used. Just finished a log cabin quilt for a baby and had lots of cut-offs so used some into snowball blocks for the border and the rest will be pinwheels on the backing. Making use of every piece of scrap left for the backing as the fabric I picked out I didn't order enough.

Its great that you can make another quilt out of scraps and leftovers. Its like getting two for the price of one. Good work. Ocean Waves is on my bucket list too. Maybe scrappy like you did. Looks great to me.

It's a beautiful quilt-let. I had a batch of mini-hst's like yours and simply sewed them into long strips which I used in the border of a quilt. The squares and their points weren't perfect by any means, but the double row in the border is very effective. You're just not close enough to see. Of course I didn't have enough scrap hst's, so had to manufacture some . So that's another use that really isn't crazy-making.
