For a long time now, I have been wanting to make a small banner with my business name on it for various events. I don't want it to be too big and of course I want it scrappy.
When I was digging through my gray scraps for my placemats, I kept out some various shades of solids and decided to tackle some paper piecing. I am using Quiet Plays Geo Letters pattern. Once they are framed, I think they will measure about 6" square.
For gray, I just need these two letters.
Next up are three letters in shades of red.
I haven't done any paper piecing in a really long time.
It took a bit to get back in the swing of it!
Happy Scrappy Sunday!

So fun to make scrappy letters. Good use of your tiniest scraps.
I've never managed to get a hang of paper piecing, so you are ahead of me. Those letters look great - like diamonds.
Hi Cynthia, those are going to look lovely. I really enjoy foundation paper piecing and it's a perfect technique for using scraps. Good luck and have a great week.
I love your scrappy letters! You have the best ideas!
That's such a neat idea, and great use for your scraps! It always takes me a bit of thinking to get back into the swing of paper-piecing, too. Have a great Sunday, Cyndy!

That's going to be a fun banner. I always have to go slow when I start a new paper piecing project, you have to get your head ack into it.
