I have been playing with scraps all week. But is all sitting next to my sewing machine waiting to be put together...
I did sew together this heart block. This one is not for my RSC quilt - it is actually 18" square and will be used with all of those low volume scraps I cut. I am excited about this project and will hopefully share more of it soon.
I added two more blocks to the 16 patch collection. These aren't really rainbow but they will fit in nicely.
A friend brought over some leftover strip sets from a quilt she just finished and asked if I could use them. I chopped them up into 4.5" and 2.5" pieces.
I am hoping to make a compassion baby quilt out of them.
There are just some weeks where I feel like I work on a million things and see very little progress.
This was one of those kind of weeks!

Love your scrappy heart, Cynthia.
like your heart block
Nice heart! I just made one in a 12 in. size. Now I can't decide how to finish it. It's always fun seeing what you're making with scraps.
The heart block will be pretty with the low volume blocks.
I can so relate. I felt like that all year in 2022. Just added some blocks to one project or another but nothing felt like an accomplishment. Hang in there, it will come. I like your scrappy heart. ;^)
Sometimes it's just nice to go with the flow. Happy scrappy stitching this week, sounds like you've got plenty of fun stuff to work on.
Your scrappy heart is terrific! You finish so many projects and inspire me with every post. Thanks so much for sharing your journey with us.
Playing with scraps sounds like a delightful way to spend the week. Darling heart block.
Looking forward to seeing what you do next with your heart block. And those scraps are beautiful. Just wait, suddenly you have a quilt.
Lovely Heart Cynthia. Looks like a real rainbow of projects happening in your sewing room. 😉
Hi Cynthia, I have lots of weeks like that - probably too many projects on the go but variety is what keeps me going! Have a great week. I'm looking forward to seeing where your heart quilt is going!
Love the scrappy heart. Look forward to seeing what you make with the donated units.
