I once made a quilt and had a wastebasket full of triangles. When I looked in the basket, I knew they were too beautiful to throw out. So I made a flying geese quilt with them, and it turned out more beautiful than the original quilt!
So beautiful that I gave it to my daughter at the blessing we had for her just before she delivered her first baby. She had it with her during labor and delivery (which wound up being a C-section). All the nurses and doctors exclaimed over it.
