Although there was not an abundance of fabric left over from this project, I wanted to use every little piece. So I cut the few scraps I had into even smaller 1 1/2 inch squares, I then cut 5" squares from a solid cream and stitched the 1 1/2 inch squares right sides on the diagonal of each corner of a 5 inch cream background square. This formed a triangle in each corner. When the squares were sewn together they formed these cute little offset squares -- I think they were happy to meet each other.
This was the result of their reunion ....
It has taken me a little while longer than I thought it would to piece this together. And -- as if that wasn't enough, when I was trying to determine how to use some more scraps to sew the back, this was the result ...
I now have a sweet little quilt for a baby in aqua and brown that could be for a boy or girl -- and if you don't like one side, just flip it over and use the other.
Better get back to sewing. Next month's scrap quilt won't be a baby size and there's lots of cutting and stitches and triangles and squares ... stay tuned!
