Well, this Friendship Star mini was a complete accident but I loved the way it turned out! The wonky HST border was my own idea and were the only blocks I actually made. All the other HST's in the mini were from premade HST's of many years ago that I no longer have the fabrics of they are that old!!
The 2nd mini is another Friendship Star! I liked it so well that I did another one the same day in softer pastels even though the camera shows them somewhat brighter than they are. It's the 1st time I have ever completed 2 minis in one day.
The 3rd mini is a Kaleidoscope that is still in the works. I wanted to show this mini as some of you were interested in knowing how I would finish using the numbers in scrap quilts from a vintage calendar I recently redid. Here's that link in case you missed it:

Hope you are inspired and challenged from quilting accidents turned into something happy! :D :D

My son wanted the month of May block and his BD embroidered in red thread and circled since May 23 is his BD. So the months are being used up!
