But I will work with BLUE too. Yay! Blue! 💙💙💙
The little HSTs, turned into these pointy blocks, will be group together in this fashion. A blue and a purple were made from the latest scrap bags. I thought of showing my plan for these blocks. I call this project "Bonus Points".
And of course, the ever faithful 9-Patch. I love that cat print.
What's in the bag?
Now if you are curious to see what's in the bag, here's some pictures. (If not, just skip to the bottom.) I won't do this every time I get bags of scraps but this one was different. Let me show you what I mean.
The bag on the right came from the BIG black bag from the first week of January. Still not done going through it. Then the bag on left showed up on my door step. Of course, I had to take a peek.
The first thing that popped out was a bag from April Cornell. See Aprilcornell.ca (there's also an American website) for more info, as I didn't know who she was, I googled her up. Now what came out of the bag made my day.
Black on white;
Flow... Oh Grandma! Stay away from those brownies;
Lol. Some pink and a lovely little piece of colourful buttons.
Back to flowers; Now this print's stack is over an inch high. Given the size of the pieces, I can sew myself a shirt off these pieces. (I have found some more of the same print in another bag this morning.)
Flowers with... Fish?!? And a cute notion print.
Fish with turtle (makes more sense) ;
Anywho! There was a WHOLE lot more than that, if you look at the size of the bag, but suffice to say it was a flower girl paradise which I am not.
This is my sewing room floor this morning.
The pile closest to the chair (bottom left) are sewn pieces that I will take apart. From this bag (bottom right), lots of small little bits and skinny strings that went into the fireplace. It's taking forever to finish this one. But I can see the bottom now! Yay!
Back to our usual programming.
Sewing!
I promise my next post will be about BLUE.
Happy sewing, whatever colour you are working with.
;^)
I will visit these talented ladies over the weekend. Hope to catch you there.

Lots of goodies there! I know you'll make good use of those gifted scraps.
Arent you a lucky girl to have people drop off scrap bags on your doorstep!
Holy scrap sorting, Batman! At least, you found some time for PINK sewing, too. :o))
Oh, encore plein de trésors dans ces sacs ! Très sympas ces imprimés, et certains sont originaux ;) Amuses-toi bien ! Bises
Oh, my! What treasures! I can hardly wait to see what you make with them!
What an amazing amount of bits in that scrap bag!! I need to process the scraps that I took from my friend. . .because if they were organized, I'd be more likely to use them rather than to look at them. You inspire me every week! Thank you!!
Wowsers! Lots and lots of pretties in those bags!
Your Bonus Points blocks look like they'll be fun to play with. I'm looking forward to seeing them multiply!
Lovely things for the queen of scraps.....

Wow! What a haul. I’m sure you will make good use of what you can and move on what you can’t. Your HST blocks will be very effective.
That's a lot of scrappy fabrics to go through. It is always a treat when you get a sweet surprise.
Ooooh. What a treasure!
This makes me want to go through my older fabrics and destash them to a group who make charity quilts! I have a stash beyond my lifetime that I need to thin down.
You went down a fabric rabbit hole!! what fun!!!
