But, I've used scraps from the white drawer and the orange drawer this week.

Design Wall Monday

  

 Small Quilts and Doll Quilts Design Wall Monday and Monday Making

I am finally making recognizable progress on the T-shirt Quilt
The one on the banister is all sewn together.
I've had some issues with the bottom, but I was expecting that.
Two more columns to sew on and then finish the last one. 

 
When this is done, I'll make two body pillows out of the remaining ones.

I have the beginning of a top for the breast cancer quilt.
This one will have 9-patches for the alternate panel pieces. 
I have lots of leftover pieces, so I think I'll do a Chinese coins border.
I'm trying to decide if I want to add some green in this one because of the top panel.

I did send a box of scraps to someone who asked for them.
I told them they were small, but when they thanked me, they said most of it would go into the trash.
Wow, I guess I won't send anything else to them.
I use that size all the time.
But, on the bright side, I have a little more room in a drawer and could add to the usage number. 

Quilting is more fun than Housework has us working on scraps.
 
 

 

These are some of the postcards I made in the last couple of weeks.

Everything came out of the scrap drawers.
