Last February, my friend Mary Lou came over and we spent a whole day rooting around in my leaders/enders collection. I've been sewing cut offs together for many years and it was time to get them all organized and sorted. We had a fun day thinking of projects to make with these. I found a bunch of sample blocks from classes that I taught way back in the early 2000's! And these fabrics have been in my stash since the 80's and 90's! With some small hst's (half square triangles) I managed to make up a few more blocks to finish off one of the rows and we used up lots of larger hst's to make pinwheel blocks. This row quilt was the result. I just quilted it with simple straight lines. Satisfying to use it up! It will go to our local hospital's chemo unit for a comfort quilt.

We also found a whole bunch of black and white HST blocks in our quilt group's stash. The black part had little tiny paw prints on it. I had a stack of four patches which I've made as leaders/enders over the years and they fit beautifully with the black and white squares to create this layout. I found the dog print for the border. Someone will love this one for a comfort quilt at the chemo unit. Now I need to start sewing up four patches again!
