After making flying geese blocks for a quilt border, I had a few remaining, so I stitched them into these 3 blocks. Now I have to make 2 more blocks to add to another baby quilt, and it will be ready to quilt.
I have stopped trying to save leftover bits and pieces of blocks for future projects, but use them for completed blocks. I'm hoping to make a scrappy UFO block quilt this summer, to use as many of my leftover blocks as possible.

My sewing room is almost back to normal, and I just had to sew today. Recently, my guild's Community Quilts group received a request from the NICU unit at our local hospital, for some premie quilts 24 inches square. I had taken 2 old 1/2 yard panels south a couple of years ago, and wasn't inspired, but when I was putting fabric away, inspiration hit! Each panel had a small wallhanging piece and 2 parts to make a tiny pillow. This will be my first NICU quilt - after adding sashing and borders, and I'll use the stripe for binding. More to come.....
Also, while I was putting things away, I found some leftover block units from a winter project, and stitched them together to make 4 blocks. I'll be using these to make small "snap bags".
