I was looking for something to do. I didn't know what I wanted to do. I knew what I didn't want to do, though. I didn't want to read. I didn't want to knit. I didn't want to sew doll clothes. I didn't want to lay out the blocks of the bowtie quilt. I didn't want to work on anything that was already in the works.
So, here's what I ended up doing...I took the cut off corners from the blocks of the bowtie quilt and made them into half-square triangles. 72 of them. I needed just 64 of them to make this mini-quilt...
You may think I planned the center 4 hst's to be the way they are, but actually, I made an error. The prints (not the neutrals) should be making up the inside square. But, I kinda like it like this, so I am not reverse sewing anything! This mini-quilt measures about 12 inches square.

Here's Riley wearing the football hat that I made for me Mum to give him (talked about here)...
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.". Jeremiah 29:11

Sometimes I make my best things when I can't think what to do and grab something for fun. Love how it came out and really nice design.

Riley looks great in his football hat! This little quiltie is nice too... great idea to use up the leftovers!
