What it means to be on the Scrap Squad is that over the coming year I will make 6 quilts from their magazine patterns using my scraps. Those quilts will be posted on the Quiltmaker blog called Quilty Pleasures. Here's my new photo for the Quilty Pleasures posts (with my "Dotty for Kaffe" quilt in the background).
So now I really have to get organized. Seriously. This pile/mess will not suffice! These scraps need to spruce themselves up, blow the dust off, and become irresistible.
Before I start my first project, I'm getting my scraps in order so I can find what I need, when I need it.
Today I will be sewing up some pink scraps. I have started a new Valentine's project from Temecula Quilts called "Hugs and Kisses". Here are the tiny pieces I have cut so far plus 60 little 1.25" squares... don't you just love mini quilts?!?!
Hop over to SoScrappy to see what the other rainbow scrap quilters are sewing with their pink scraps this month.
