This Weeks Progress ~ Scraps And Binding from Podunk Pretties

 This week was a slow one for quilting, but I still made it into the sewing room every day, even if only for a few minutes. While sorting through the tiny scraps bin, I realized there were even more scraps tucked away in the “Sweets” tin, where I keep random triangles to turn into half square triangles. As you can see, they multiply like rabbits....it’s time to let them go!

There were three HST's in the tin, so they’ll be added to the hoard of HST's.

Starbound Quilt Top from Podunk Pretties

 I started making this quilt from a picture I saved on Pinterest.  The picture had no information. Finding quilt pattern names is almost impossible these days due to algorithms that are supposed to make things easier.  I think it has made things worse.  I'm pretty sure he who pays the most gets pushed to the top of the search. Using all the key words I could think of I searched Google, DuckDuckGo, Pinterest, Bing, Instagram, and Facebook. I even did a reverse image search.  Thankfully my aging brain can still work things out with a little time.  I knew ...
