I love Amanda Jean Nyberg’s NO SCRAP LEFT BEHIND. (Her blog is Crazy Mom Quilts.)
Greeting cards made with bits of leftover fabric scraps are one project in the book.
I loved them at first sight.
Now I have some!
This project is sheer play AND uses up scraps!

I seem to be “playing” with making 3 1/2-inch quilt blocks.
I am in the process of sewing the next 10 Tula Pink 100 modern quilt blocks–which are all about the fabric. Some of these involve triangles–which have “bonus” triangle possibilities, so this happened.
Here’s a fun one.
This one, too.
Here’s the collection so far. The mini 9-patch is from NO SCRAP LEFT BEHIND, Amanda Jean Nyberg, of Crazy Mom Quilts blog/instagram. It is actually 4 inches finished. These are FUN to make.
These will likely wind up in the Parts Department quilt, but who knows. That box of blocks is getting full. As soon as I finish a few other projects, I’ll open it. And, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel of Works In Progress.

I have a “thread catcher” bag with a pin cushion in my travel kit.
BUT, the bag constantly falls off the edge of the table as the pin cushion weight just isn’t heavy enough. Plus, it’s SMALL.
Several of my friends have made this kind of “thread catcher” bag, and one helped me find a free pattern by Marni Weaver. The pin cushion was inspired by Amanda Jean Nyberg of Crazy Mom Quilts. She is currently making a pin cushion every day this month
I used Cotton+Steel fabrics. And I stuffed the pin cushion with dried rose petals!!! as that was all I had at the moment. (The lavender would be way too smelly I think.)
I LIKE IT!
