Scrap Happy in September

 We've had a little bit of rain! Hurray! Hopefully there will be more over the next day or two. I doubt it will make the air quality safe for me but it will make it safer. My roses will be happier too.

It has been hard to generate the energy to do much of anything with the amount of smoke in the air. Before the air got so bad I pieced up another little quilt top to turn into a quilt for a cat in our local animal shelter. I started with some scrappy Hourglass blocks I'd made some time ago that finish at 3 inches square.

Then I found scraps of an old floral stripe and used it for borders.

Those colors aren't quite true. I've got a large scale print of cats cut for the back. Just have to dig out a batting scrap to finish this off. 😁(You can see the first two quilts I made in this post.)

I've pieced up a few new scrap blocks for the Parts Department...

And used scraps to make two 12" Tall Ship blocks.

Now I'm trying to figure out a way to combine the Tall Ships with some of my 6" ship blocks for a donation quilt. Probably I'll want to make another Tall Ship or two as well!
