What to do with bonus squares?
#21
Go to Pinterest or Google and put in half square triangle quilts. There are tons of ways to put them together. You should have enough for a lap quilt or a baby quilt. Donate it to a local shelter or nursing home. We also give baby quilts to a local pregnancy center.

I would use bonus squares for creating artistic backings. I would not attempt to use them all at once into one backing but into more backings combined with large pieces of leftover fabric. It's more fun that way!

Sew many ideas for leftovers..here's some of mine
Leftover HST inspired the color way of this quilt I made for GD#5
Tiptoeing through the daisies....
All the triangle blocks in these quilts were leftovers
Christmas mini's hung on the tree
Two of these quilts have leftover HST's
Yeah 2 UFO's done--scrappy HST's
And another little one..
AAQI with 162 triangle--sSomedays it's nice to finish something!

mine are saved in a small shoebox. Eventually, I pair them with a white, and use them in a scrappy. Can't bear to throw out perfectly cut triangles...they can be so pesky to cut and they add such pizzazz to a quilt block.
