Using Scraps

     I have not done much sewing or quilting the past 2 weeks mostly because of family activities and some shoulder pain. I am feeling better; however, so as not to stress my shoulder I am only doing some piecing. My bins of 3 ½“ strips and squares was overflowing so I decided to use some for a quilt. I remembered the perfect scrappy pattern.

     In 2016 I was fairly new to mystery quilts and Quilt Alongs when Carole of https://frommycarolinahome.com/ hosted her Scrap Dance Waltz Quilt Along. I made the quilt and loved it.

I gave that quilt away so decided to use the pattern again. You can find her pattern for sale on her blog. I pulled all the pieces from my 3 ½“ bins of squares and strips. I used the Easy Angle ruler to cut HTSs from strip sets and made all the block A HSTs.

Saturday I gathered all the units for 6 A blocks that will finish at 15”. Here is the first block sewn

and 5 more kits are ready and waiting.  That should be short work, then on to block B.
