Impromptu Top

I was more tired and busy than I thought I would be this week, so I pulled out the triangles from Guatemala that I had unsewn since they are so wonky.  I matched them back up and sewed them carefully and then trimmed to the largest square I could get consistently from the newly formed HST.  

HST ready to iron

I didn't think about it too much, but just kept sewing and using what I had to make it big enough to at least be a baby quilt.  

white sashing works well

There were four HSTs that were still pretty wonky, so I trimmed them smaller and turned them into corners for the borders.  That worked perfectly. 

red & yellow borders from my stash are a surprising good match

This came together pretty quickly.  I even have a backing ready.  Maybe this week I'll sandwich this one and the Baby Blocks and get them quilted.
