Between bringing my mother to her weekly outpatient visits, school holiday events and home life shenanigans not much sewing happening this month. However, I did get to play a little with my Scrap Happy project from last month (creating a new quilt block using strip scraps and the block trimmings). Scrap Happy is a fun reuse-recycle-reduce activity (hosted by Kate and Gun ) to help one use up scraps of anything from past projects.
DECEMBER SCRAP HAPPY PROJECT
I’ve cut last month’s project block into quarters. The quarters were then flipped (solid center pointing out) and sewn back together. Lining up the seams was not a priority. 😀
I rather like this look…might even vary it a little. I’ve only had the chance to make a few.
Hopefully, during the school holiday break I’ll be able to work on this project.
Have a good week! — Joanne

Yes. They are rather bright! 😀
I love bright so that was an appreciative “wow” lol
Love it! And those are very festive too, if you see them as stars. Beautiful Scrappyness 🙂
Thank you!
Oh, I *really* like what the cutting and resewing did for this! I hope you can do more soon!
Thank you! I hope to be able to sneak in time to sew over the break.I find these blocks therapeutic. 🙂
Seeing the blocks combined makes it even more fascinating!!!!
I can’t wait until I have a few more blocks completed to be able to see the beginning of a quilt!
I liked the original, but I believe I might like the new version even better! I think the brightness of your now-corner fabric really will be a wonderful focus for the blocks.
Thank you! Either way is fun isn’t it? 😀
I loved the original. design but I am seeing these as something really different – just whopping color.
