I do the same thing about trimming the HSTs.  In fact, I tend to oversize them so I won't be short, then trim to fit. It is tedious but worth it.

So I finished up a UFO:  This will be completed to make a baby gift for a coworker, whose wife is expecting her first baby! I needed a break from this project for a while, so I thought I'd organize my 1930's box, with its myriad of UFO/WIP, cut offs, etc. Oh, boy! My right tricep is hurting from all the ironing and cutting. Hey, if anyone ever tells you quilting isn't a workout, it's more than a catholic church...I iron, I sit to sew, I stand and iron, cut, iron, sit to sew, etc...and triceps and biceps get a workout too, lifting iron, pressing down with rotary cutter, etc. LOL!!! :D 

(a little joke as I grew up in Catholic school. Sorry; I couldn't help myself)

All Quilt Gifts are done and all but one shipped out.  Back to my HST projects as I am determined to empty those 2.5" and 3.5" bins.  I need some newer fabric in them.  Progress is slow, but continuing.  Love the rainy days as I can sit with my hot coffee, sew and watch the rain come down,

Life is Truly Good.

Agreed! I've been trying to pull those kinds of things out and work on them lately.

Then, this week, I took the 30's box and started trimming the scraps down to usable size squares and strips. Then I designed a quilt using some of them :D Viola! Next project!
