The Indian Hatchet blocks have been sewn into a flimsy. I love this quilt!
Most of the corners are triangles left from flippy corners or from mitering binding.
The little blocks finish at 2" so there are a lot of side seams. I cut a 1.5" red border to add a stop to all the happy scrappiness and to keep the seams from unsewing.
The flimsy measures 67" by 83". I'm going to be keeping this one. This quilt is as improv and modern as I get.
If you go back and read the June 2020 post, you'll see that I didn't originally plan to make Indian Hatchet blocks.
The original idea was to sew a scrap triangle on one corner of the background fabric. The plan at that time was to use the Remainders pattern from Amanda Jean Nyberg's book, No Scrap Left Behind. (Here is a link to Amanda's blog when the book was first published. If you scroll down the post, you'll see her Remainders quilt.)
The Remainders quilt is nice but, for me, it was just too much background fabric and not enough color. I decided to make a change to my block and I'm very glad I did!
I've used a lot of bonus triangles in this quilt but there are still a lot left in the box! Someday another bonus triangle quilt might be pieced, but not right away.

I love the glorious scrappiness of this quilt! So fun too! And a great way to use up all this extra triangles.
What a wonderful scrappy piece! I must admit I could never be so modern, I would end up trying to even up the blocks. LOL
I have a start, only a start, on the Remainder quilt! It’s a bit more fiddle-y than I originally thought! I may deviate and do something different! I’m “thinking “!
Yours turned out great and I love the bit of yellow sparkle!
Wonderful. Congratulations on taming all those tiny pieces!
It is a beautiful scrap quilt Gretchen. Great use of all those bonus triangles.
Beautiful top and what a journey it has had! What a great way to use all those "bonus" triangles!!!

Great use of bitty pieces!
Happy scrappiness! Scrappy happiness!
Love it!
It's beautiful. You caught me off guard when I clicked on the photo of a quilt I liked on my reading list. I didn't even realize that it was your work. This is very improv for you -- but beautiful none the less. I can't wait to see how you quilt this one, Gretchen. Way to use up those little pieces. Thank you for all of the links.
Not sure what you mean by the word "flimsy". Could you explain?
I love it! I may have to borrow your idea for a charity quilt bee block! Thanks for sharing.
