Just some quick photos of the little scrap quilt that I put together as a girl baby gift to have on hand.

| There is most certainly a better way to do these little squares I have learned since this photo. |
 |
| I had lots and lots of pink with dots |
All these squares are scraps from other projects....
Many are from this baby quilt project-

| Assembled by rows trying to not put too many of the same near each other. |
I never thought that sewing little squares could make me happy but it's quite therapeutic.
And I love the way this turned out.
 |
| The whole thing finished. Not washed yet |
 |
| I just machine quilted it 1/4" from the seam one direction and then the other along each row. |
 |
| Here is the whole thing, bound in pink with white polka dots. |
 |
| oops, look, two identical ones, made it by each other and you know what, it's fine! |
There's something so great about making something out of the parts that are leftover from something else. I guess that's what I like about this quilting world. You can make cool stuff out of the tiniest leftovers. I even used leftover pieces of batting basted together, probably a no no but once quilted, I don't think it will matter.
Speaking of leftovers, who's still full from Thanksgiving......... me!
