I thought I might pull together a small quilt for a cat in our animal shelter for this month's Scrap Happy Day. That didn't happen. Instead, I went through the most recent off-cuts from quilt backs and cut 3" strips for scrappy trip blocks.
I was able to make five more blocks for my Parts Dept. from those and a few other strips I had on hand.
I came across a few other scrappy blocks that must have been made fairly recently too. 😊

Love those blocks on the design wall, and to find random blocks, they always come in handy.
ReplyDeleteCat quilts can wait, babies come first! I can't believe you found enough 'lying-around' scraps for those trip around the world blocks, which are gorgeous, by the way! For me, next month's scrap happy might be something left over from the trim-outs of the 4 corner blocks of the Floribunda quilt, which do look fun to play with.
ReplyDeleteGreat use of scraps! I love your (not so) bright green blocks ;)
ReplyDeleteMy favourite quilts to make are for babies. Even the most distant relative gets one if they announce a pregnancy.
ReplyDeleteYour Parts Department, as ever, has come up with the goods for some great blocks.
I love finding blocks that are just lying in a box and waiting to be used! They will make a great scrap quilt!
ReplyDeleteAh the parts department; I keep forgetting about it. Perfect place for my orphan blocks with no other destination!
