It is my first time linking up with Joyful Quilter for Table Scraps Challenge. (Yay!) You can read all about it here. If you look closely at the edge on the right-hand side, there's a snowman. 😊
My goal is to make a placemat each month (fingers crossed but no obligations) for this challenge using only strings as that department is overpopulated.
You probably can tell that this is a quilt as you go. Well, except for the little square and the triangle. I have to give credit to Joanne from Canuck Quilter for the design. She calls it Breadcrumbs. (Very appropriate, I'd say.) She does such lovely things and sells her patterns too. Go check her out. Thanks for the inspiration, Joanne. 💙
I know they aren't red but how can I leave this little bit of scrap alone? It has its own Rainbow!
I got distracted and not just by this little piece. I was distracted in a BIG way!!
Two questions come to my mind when I look at this picture. ONE: How much money? TWO: How long do I have to live? 😄 Needless to say, I had to dive right in. I'm still working on it. Hence, two 9-Patch blocks that aren't red at all.
It's also my first time at machine binding. Not perfect but I'm sure by October, I will be more comfortable with this technique. Here's a picture of the back.
My leader-enders were 9-Patch, what else?
I got Scraps and Scraps and Scraps ...
Raven has to sniff any suspicious package, in case there's a squirrel hiding in it. Poor Raven, you can not see the squirrels I see. And there's more ... (anyone doing an I Spy quilt? Elaine, need some more?)
A sweet (and very generous) sewing sister and her sister cleaned their respective sewing rooms. I won the loot. This is so impressive that I am speechless. I'm in fabric heaven! Thank you so so much, Anne and sister. May you receive as many blessings as I just got. 💖💖
Early this morning, I did play with red and got my first Scrap Jar Star done.
I'll sew more red this weekend as I am not about to run out of scraps anytime soon.
Hope everyone stays safe and I'll catch up with you next week.
Have a great one!
;^)

Scraps for a lifetime! Definitely motivation to get busy and sew some of them up. Love the scrap Jar Star. A classic for a reason.
So good! Love how you squeezed the snowman in there! Those surfing trolls!?! Haha! You're about to embark on a super fun journey!
I really like the design of your string placemat, Chantal! And look at all those scraps - they will keep you busy!
Wow, Chantal, that's an incredible scrap haul!!! Oh, what's that? I'm supposed to be commenting on your TABLE SCRAPS Challenge entry? Well, now you are set for several lifetimes of participation! :o))
The Breadcrumbs Table Scraps placemat you made is so striking. She has some lovely patterns, doesn’t she? And that scrap haul makes my mouth water and my hands itch!! Have a blast going through it!! Oh, and when you’re done fondling it, we can’t wait to see what you make!
Wow! You won the fabric lottery that is for sure, how long will it take you to sew all this up, once you get going…
Have a fun adventures and enjoy the ride. The journey will be a creative path and a wonderful one. Stay warm and safe.

Great job on the placemat - I love Joanne's patterns. What a great fabric gift! I see lots of stitching in your future!
Woo hoo! Scrap treasures! Love that print with the rainbow. Congrats on the placemat, great idea to use strings and quilt as you go.
Love your red placemat, Chantal.
WOW!! is there any gift so perfect as fabrics and scraps. Have fun.
What generous friends you have! I do love your placemat - great design. xx
J'aime beaucoup ton set de table, les petites voitures sont rigolotes aussi ! Te voilà avec assez de tissus pour succomber à plusieurs Squirrels sans remords ;))
OMG, I would be so overwhelmed by that abundance of scraps, that I wouldn't know where to start. Guess you won't be running out of things to do any time soon. Have fun.

Such pretty red projects. Great idea making your placemats quilt as you go. Thanks for sharing with oh Scrap!
Oh my! That is incredibly generous. You have plenty to keep you going.
Enjoy all that loot! You're going to have so much fun!
OMG what a pile to receive...... Goodluck......
Lovely haul there and some wonderful scrappy things to make.
If you weren't so far away Chantal, I'd send you some scraps too :-)
Your really did get a BUNCH of good stuff. I am still working on what was sent to me, months ago. I made 4 quilts and a friend grabbed a handful of "cutsies" to make another one. Hardly made a dent, but "One step at a time."
