I didn't spend a lot of time sewing scraps this week but I did start a new quilt from some of the fabric donated for Compassion Quilts.
I was organizing some of the fabric and I saw a trend of prints with roses. So I gathered them all up and decided to make a quilt (or two) from them.
From two shades of pink, I cut some 1.5", 2.5" and 3.5" strips.
I was also given a panel of rose and magnolia flowers so I cut those out.
My plan is to sew the strips to the sides of the panel pieces and make all different sized and shaped blocks. How I am going to sew them all together, I haven't quite figured out.
Something will come to me soon!
What scrappy fun have you had this week?

Those are going to be pretty! You're so good at coming up with designs from donated fabric and making beautiful quilts from them. Can't wait to see what these flower blocks turn into! Have a great Sunday, Cyndy!
Great flower prints. You will find a great way to add these to the panel. Enjoy the dithering. ;^)

Great idea to put these fabrics together! This will be a pretty quilt.
Perfect pinks to pair with the panels. It looks like fun sewing!
What a terrific you plan you have to use the flower fabric and flower panel. Someone is going to love the quilt you create! Today, I worked on piecing a couple cradle quilts. . .the inspiration came from an orphan block and bits from the parts department!
Very pretty blocks. The colors are prefect too. Excited to see how those blocks come together.
Looks like you have a great start on another quilt.
What a great idea I like the opposite look of the block.
