These HST were just some of the left overs from our guild charity quilt project. HST are 1 1/2" finished; overall quilt is 11 x 15 inches. I plan on holding a drawing for the other 12 ladies who worked on the big quilt when we meet next.

Very nice. I have a lot of little HST's leftover from quilts as well. I hate throwing away the little corners and so will frequently sew a seam before I trim them off larger pieces.

That's what I usually do, too. I like to sew an eighth to a quarter inch seam. Then cut my square.

Thanks for the kind words--now I see the wonky border after taking pics :roll:
