My offerings this time around are pretty small - plentiful, but small. As in, if you don't like tiny piecing, these probably won't appeal to you. And while they won't free up a whole lot of physical space for me, I will feel so much better if they get put to use somewhere. The only restriction on who can win is that I will only ship to the US and Canada (sorry, friends across the pond and elsewhere!). Leave a comment letting me know which entry(ies) you want and I will pull the names of winners on Sunday, March 22 with a random number generator if more than one person is interested in any given offering.
A. First off, we have the 52 extra 2.5" scrappy yellow and neutral 4 patches left over from my Good Fortune (2018 Bonnie Hunter Mystery) Quilt. Eight of them have been sewn into 16-patches, but they can be disassembled...
B. And then there are the 115 1.5" gray and scrappy bonus triangles that I cut off (and sewed) from a baby quilt I made in 2013.
C. You're going to see a theme here...more bonus triangles! I really hate throwing anything away, and I love tiny piecing! I just never seem to get around to using my bonus triangles! Here are 42 1.5" patriotic HST in a blue with white stars and a flag fabric left over from a quilt that I had my students make in a summer camp quilting class sometime between 2013 and 2016 (hmmm...can't find a photo).
D. Surprise! More bonus triangles! These 118 scrappy red, white and blue HST trim down to 1.5", and come from a RWB star quilt that I never finished. (which reminds me, I should pull that out and work on it! I started it in 2015.)
E. In 2016 I had customers who came into my shop sew blocks for a community quilt, Arkansas Crossroads, which then was raffled off to raise money for a local charity. These 146 white (Kona) and scrappy 1.5" HST are left over from that project.
F. And finally, some more bonus triangles, but these trim to a whopping 2"! These 52 white and solids HST are left over from some Block Lotto blocks I made in 2012. Time to let them go, right?
Won't you please give these little fellas a home? Maybe there is a mini quilt or a doll quilt in your future. Or maybe these can make a pieced border for something. Or perhaps they can make pinwheels to form the center of other blocks. Lots of possibilities here!

Thank you so much for your awesome giveaways. Please put my name in for (A) the yellow and neutral 2 1/2 inch squares. I am making a quilt now that has this size and these would go really well with what I have.Thanks so much for the chance.
Whoa! Look at your treasures.
I would love to be put in to rescue your A, B, or/and E.
I am working on my first ever orphan block quilt, and have some spaces that would do better with some small blocks in them rather than random size fabric.
I would love to adopt the cheerful yellow/white items in Option A! I had rotator cuff repair surgery in November and am still doing physical therapy twice a week, so using a rotatory cutter is painful. These would help me ease back into quilting, and as I am an educator 'sheltering in place' this would also keep me mentally and physically engaged until my school reopens. Thank you for considering me as a worthy adopter! Kindly, Mary In Tucson, AZ, aka

Hi Erin! I would love to adopt item D.
I'll IM you my address if I get them!

Erin, I was the lucky recipient of a past adoption program you ran. I kind of would like someone to adopt all of my Frolic = not just the bits and pieces left. This was my first and last BH mystery. My brain just isn't cut out to work the way a mystery runs and then to have so much left over - well, not a fan. I applaud anyone who is, it's just not me. Good luck on giving everything away.
I'd be happy to adopt F. It would make a sweet little mini!
I would love the C and D half square triangles. Almost all the quilts I make are for donation, and most of those are for Quilts of Valor. I'm thinking these could beautifully frame a patriotic panel. Is there any reason the two groups couldn't be combined into one quilt? Sharon
I see lots of fun in all of those little bits. But I have so many of those same items already in my sewing room. Thanks for participating in the event!
Any of your orphans would make me SEW happy!!!
Thanks so much for removing the temptation. (not that I need any more little scraps, as I have enough on my side of the pond)
I am working on shoofly blocks and would love E for the tiny triangles. thanks, Maggie
ps any others that noone wants would be welcome here as well.
I would love to have option E! I'll add them to a project I'm working on with hsts just this size. Thanks for offering!
