I was so happy to see that Laurel Burch precuts are now available at Connecting Threads.
The colors are amazing!
...actually, anything is more fun than housework!

This weekend, a dear friend sent me a text to let me know she was bringing me a quilt to have quilted. Then she asked..."I found some orphan blocks. Do you want them?"
Well, you can guess what my answers was!

There is no real reason why I made the scrap blocks I did this week except Orange is always a good choice to sew with!
The main focus this last week was to start sewing all the Covered In Love blocks into some quilt tops so I can start quilting them. So I used these postage stamp blocks for one of my RSC quilts as a leader/ender project.
I now have a total of 21 blocks completed. I think that is the halfway point on this project. As I come across a solid I haven't used in any of the finished blocks, I am just cutting it and sewing up the block.
I hope to finish this quilt this Spring so I can donate it to the Hands2Help quilt drive.
I thought this week I would share another scrap quilt finish I made using my Chaser block pattern.
This version of the pattern uses HSTs and creates a completely different look than previous versions. I used this quilt to focus on using some of the larger chunks of fabrics in my scrap bin.
Just a reminder of the two previous quilts I made using the same pattern. Kind of hard to believe that so many different designs can be made with just minor changes to a block.
And I continue to think of more :)
The Chaser block is one of my Scrap Mixology pattern modules. This module is 15 pages and includes lots of ways to mix this block design up.
It is super simple to make and can be modified to use lots of scrap sizes.
All of my Scrap Mixology pattern downloads are available in both my Etsy shop and my Payhip shop. I look forward to seeing how they inspire you to use your scraps!

Pretty regularly, I receive photos of quilts made using one of my patterns. I always love to see them and thought I would share a few of them with you today.
Here is a wonderful quilt made from my Wiggle Time pattern. I love the solid color and the quilting she added that "wiggles" across the quilt.. This lap size pattern takes five fat quarters and some background fabric - you probably have the fabric in your stash!
This quilt was made using my All That Jazz pattern. After seeing this one, I remembered I have a tub full of neutrals like black and taupe fabrics that would be perfect for this pattern.
Check out these two quilts made from my Spin! pattern. I even had the pleasure of quilting the orange one. I think it is the first quilt I have seen in that orange/gray combination...
I like it!
My Summertime Blossoms pattern was used to make this sweet little baby quilt.
Are you a fan of batik fabrics? Did you know that Connecting Threads now carries a number of manufacturers at great prices.
Happy Valentine's Day to everyone!
I have been slowly working through more of my scrap blocks for the month of February. I realized when I was writing this post that I forgot to write about my finish this week. I guess you will have to wait a bit to see it next Friday.
I had previously made the yellow blocks for my Half Rectangular Triangles (HRTs). So no progress on this project for February.
And finally I finished three more of my scrappy blocks for this quilt. I am making them from 2" strips and trimming the blocks to 12" square. I think I have seen this block referred to as a Lego block. It is a great design to use up the odd bits in the scrap bin.
That is it for my scrap quilting this week. I hope all of you are staying safe and warm. No snow or ice here but the weather quickly cycles between sunny and gloomy in a matter of minutes.

I am working on numerous RSC quilts this year so I thought I would start the month out by making my Scrap Mixology blocks.
I still have five more RSC block designs to make for the month so there are still lots of blocks to share in the future. I have been slowly working on getting them all cut so I can have everything ready to sew when I have more time to sit at my machine.
