scrap play from Making A Lather

Just a little fun with triangles. I had a pile on the sewing table and rather than put them in "the bucket", I just made a few beauty baskets. And yes, I dug some more out of the bucket and made a bigger mess. But, I was a happy girl.


I made a few yellow easy breezy blocks, lately, as leader/ enders. It takes 11 steps to complete one. It's a simple block, but, several steps.

I have a little more done on boho heart.

I also found snowball blocks at Suzies-scraps.com. I have these in a box near the sewing machine to use up 2 inch squares.



I have 5 quilts I am focusing on right now ...

new basket from Making A Lather


I found this little beauty at suzies scraps here. I really like her blog for inspiration. I used her ideas for a broken dishes block hereand her tile block here.
I was really excited to find another way to use the quirky "trash" triangles I have in a box. and it is so cute. It is also another great way to use older scraps that are not nearly as modern. Although, all fabric trends repeat over time.


I put them together like a 9 patch. Right now, I have a bunch of 2 1/2 inch squares cut in ...
