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.

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.

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.

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.
