My efforts throughout May feel less focused than those in previous months. I think because I have been so diligently working on scrap management and scrappy projects. Normally, I am far more focused on the ‘planned’ projects, those projects for which fabric has been specifically purchased.
However, I’m glad to see the scraps used. I’ve been saving them all this time. I spent quite a bit on the yardage from which these scraps came. It’s good to feel like I’m getting the most bang for my buck. It’s also nice to return to my roots – I started out as a scrap quilter, scrounging bits of fabric from whatever I had on hand. When I did buy fabric, I only bought in quarter yard increments, as I only ever envisioned cutting small pieces out, to compromise a larger whole that was much more than the sum of its parts. Keep in mind that this was the late nineties, too, which meant that there wasn’t nearly the wealth of choices there is now. Or at least, a wealth of choices matching my tastes. What a difference a decade and a half makes!

Good for you making use of your scraps!
I love doing scrappy quilts – I’m ready to start on others already, even.
So many pretty blocks! I also love sewing with scraps and they do multiply.
That they do! Thankfully I have a lot of plans for them.
You made so many beautiful things this month!
Thank you! I do wish I’d been a little speedier this month, but that’s all right. 🙂
The scrap blocks look great! And some months don’t have many finishes…but you still did a great job of working towards a finish.
I have far more starts than I have finishes! But that’s all right. I’m more about the journey anyway.
