My husband got me a few BlocLock Rulers for Christmas, so of course I had to make a project specifically to try them out. What better than a pinwheel quilt! All fabric was leftovers from my stash and I used even more smaller HSTs on the backside. Final size is 32x40. Quilted with just a simple continuous curve in the blue sections.
I wanted to find a use for all the HST trimmings, so I collected them and mushed them and sewed them into little coasters. That was a fun bonus and am thinking about keeping all my project scrappings to use in similar ways. Do you do anything fun with your super tiny trim-offs?

I do the same thing with my cast offs from other projects. I was gifted a bag of small triangles, looks like they were the trimmings from flying geese units. I am using them as Leader/Enders for other projects.

I have used a lot of strings over the years, but lately, have stopped keeping those small pieces. My DH gave me a set of Bloc Loc rulers several years ago, and I absolutely love them! Your projects are really neat. How did you manage to get those tiny HST's so beautifully centered on the back of your quilt? Amazing!
