Are you sewing along with the Confetti Quilt-Along ? I’ve set aside 4 full months (March - June) to enjoy making this scrap quilt, and you might want to take even more! These fun 8” quilt blocks eat fabric scraps like crazy.

Two of my favorite things, beautiful Tula Pink fabric and a striking quilt pattern. Add in a dash of unicorns and mythical sea creatures in Tula’s signature bright colors, and you’ve go…

Here is a bin of Green squares and Cream squares. The lights might have other colors in it but they read as a light fabric The reason I do these as 2 color is I…

Well, this is getting predictable. But that's the way it goes when working on several projects a little at a time. I have four orange blocks for Rainbow Scrap Challenge/52 weeks of Scrappy Triangles this month, but I have fabric picked out for one more orange block if I decide to make it since there are a few more days left this month. It depends on how much I like the color for October. I do like the brightness that the orange blocks bring to my scrappy bunch. I have a lot of oranges in my…
