As I work on my Critter Community / Log Cabin On Point Quilt.....I have accumulated quite a stack of corners! The extra parts of the block once I have trimmed....
So to be resourceful and not wasteful...I took a couple of corners....
Stitched them together on the long edge....squared it up....and SHAZAM! A new block...using my cast-offs!
I am just imagining the possibilities....framing these blocks with a solid kona....or sashing them all in white....a mass of colorful blocks swimming in a sea of white! How pretty and fresh!
Yesterday I need a little retail therapy so I hopped on over to my favorite little shoppe....and bagged my kill made my purchase!!!
YAY! A bunch of Happy Mochi Yum Yum!!! This bright bunch of fun is perfect for my next project.....thank you Monica for designing such a great fabric line!!!
Then I set my sights on some Flower Sugar.....again perfect for my next project!
This fabric is just so sweet!
Happy Friday!!!

This will be so cute....a great way to use the extras! I'm loving the Flower Sugar fabrics, too. I keep checking them out on line!
Happy fabrics and happy blocks, thanks for eye candy.
Love your triangle ends sewn back into a square block and your plan for them sounds like a winner! Mochi yum yum looks like such a fun range, I think I'll have to get some. And the flower sugar fabrics look pretty yummy too!
Your new blocks are great!! What a good idea.
