Moving the daybed out of my sewing room has resulted in finds. "Lost" ancient artifacts appear in strange boxes and containers that I am now opening. These triangles were once cut for a Kalidiescope quilt. After I sewed a few sections into circles that had humps in the middle, I gave up and stashed the triangles away.
Later I found them and decided to sew them into strips for borders because the circles weren't working. I didn't really need the borders, it was just another day that I needed come "mindless" sewing time. Then they were put away again.
Now they came out of the bottom of a box that was only half full, so I was distributing the contents into OTHER containers. [I call this progress!]
It looks to me now that this could be put together, not as borders, but as a baby quilt for our neonatal unit. And now that I have taken a photograph, I have to put the photo into my album of UFOs, thus making my UFO list longer.
On the other hand, I HAVE finished [to the stage to sending it out to be long-arm quilted] my UFO for this month's Liquidara Challenge. Therefore I can do whatever I want for the rest of the month! Are these triangles what I want to work on? Maybe. At least if I get them together as a TOP I will have made some progress. It might even be small enough to quilt on my machine......
Still thinking as I leave the room.

It would make a lovely baby quilt, but would also make a great centre for something a bit wild and liberated.
