You did a wonderful job on this sweet little quilt. Yes I keep my trimmings just like you do but I won't if the resulting HST is smaller than 1" finished (1 1/2 unfinished). I have a bag full of them that are already earmarked for two bucket list quilts. About as close as I will get to miniatures will be the small 6" blocks in FWS which is on my bucket list. Maybe someday, when I have grown old and senile, I will attempt a mini! LOL
