You down with HST?

Since it's a short month, it's a good thing I've gotten a jump on making the HSTs for my February project. They're all sewn and pressed, and now they just have to be trimmed. Trimming is my least favorite task, and trimming all 720 of these squares is going to be miserable.


Hopefully, I'll be done with the trimming soon, and then I can move onto more fun tasks. I can't wait to see how these squares come together to make two 14"X14" pillow shams and two 60"X60" throw quilts. These, plus a set of six placemats, are promised to a friend who got married back in November. Hopefully, they'll look so amazing that she'll forgive me for sending it three months late.


The colors are great, and I think the leftovers might be just right for a unisex baby quilt that I'm planning.
