February's Christmas Project

I'm a little early but we have some travel coming

up and I'm just trying to get some things checked

of the list.  I like to leave with everything done!

One of my goals this year is to use up

all of the triangle trimmings I've saved from

some of my favorite quilt projects.  I've finished

sewing them into HST's--I'm estimating over

2,000 of them!--so it's time to start on some

scrappy mini-quilts.

My first project with them is this little table runner.

9 x 17.5

Having the HST's and the binding (scrap also!) 

ready allowed me to get this whipped up in 

just an hour or so.

The trimmings are from this quilt that I gifted to

my sister's husband several years ago.

I still have lots of coordinating fabric so I want to

get some coasters made and have a nice set

ready to be gifted to them next Christmas.

Getting all of those HSTs sewn up was a bit of

a struggle but it made for good tv-sewing while

we watched football and now that I have all

of these ready to go for playing around with, it

was all very worth it!  I'm excited to see what

other fund and quick minis I can come up with!
