A bit of progress has been made on my first mini quilt! I have trimmed and trimmed and trimmed these little HSTs.

And this is what I have so far.

I do so very much love this little project! It is a great project to have handy when you only have a few minutes to spare in the craft room. I can spend just ten minutes trimming here and there and it adds up quickly!

And the best thing: the whole project will be completely free! The HSTs are leftover from a previous quilt, of course, as well as the backing fabric I will be using (from same quilt as the HSTs), and the batting will be a scrap leftover from another recent quilt. So, this little project has been super helpful as a declutter-er of all the stuff in my craft room that I just can’t seem to throw away!

Now that the cutting is complete, I can spend the next two days rearranging the blocks to make sure everything is perfectly laid out. Then see that two of the same fabric are too close together and spend another two days rearranging. And so on, and so on, and so on. . . Can anyone else relate to a little OCD?

Happy Quilting! -Alison
