I was recently playing around with some stripped-pieced leftovers. Sometimes I just love to puzzle out something useful from what would usually get thrown in the trash. All these silly bug fabrics were so darn cute, I just couldn't toss this odd little pile of fabric so I had saved them for a later date.
I started cutting some wedges out of the pieces...
and started sewing them back up into some cute little X blocks.
As they were all different sizes, I decided to float them randomly in some solids. Kona white, ash and charcoal worked perfectly!
I soon had this cute little quilt finished for some lucky baby boy!
Then I immediately pulled out some Sherbet Pips scraps I had and made this adorable quilt for some lucky little baby girl. I had just enough of that pink solid to make those 4 blocks - I love when that happens!
Not sure yet what I will do with these cuties. They were sewn entirely from my stash and were made more for my own entertainment. I might donate them to our local hospital's NICU but for now I have them listed in my Etsy shop.
Time to go rummage around in my sewing room and see what inspires me next!

What a great idea for a simle and fast but beautiful quilt. Thanks a lot!
Greetings, Rike
Really like the criss cross shapes in the boys one. Looks great with the Kona solids. Worth a few hours playing with scraps!
Those are both so gorgeous! And so modern. I love Sherbert Pips... sigh...
Good use of scraps. Love the one for little boys!
I love the colors in the 'baby boy' quilt - well done!
Love your scrappy quilt and the modern design.
adorable!
Yes, yes ... that's exactly what those bugs needed -- some Kona solids. I love this approach to working with scraps!
I continue to be amazed at what you make with your scraps. Such a cute way to put odd pieces together.
I love scrap quilts. Wonderfully modern creations.
Such a fun way to use up your scraps. Inspiring idea to make up some much needed baby quilts.
Fun and inspiring use of scraps!!
I like your scrap idea. Came out great!
These are both really lovely!
What a great way to use up those little odd shaped scraps. I tend to throw mine away because they seemed too small and oddly shaped for me to make any use of, but now you have inspired me.
Both adorable quilts...from scraps no less! Love them! I am sure they will be loved by whoever you gave them to.
I love your scrappy ideas! Great job!
