ScrapHappy February 2026
Well, my 2026 project of reducing my fabric stash a bin at a time has not been successful so far. First I got a weird respiratory infection that sapped all my energy, so I got no quilting done in January. And then my stash was actually increased, when one quilting friend gave me a lovely package full of vintage linens, and another gave me three shoeboxes full of beautiful scraps!
One big group of scraps was autumn fabrics, and I was inspired to make some scrappy maple leaf blocks. These are 18″ square. Each one starts with three 6.5″ crumb blocks, and I will admit those do take time to make, as you sit and choose which tiny scraps will fit together. I could have made the half-square-triangles at leaf’s edge scrappy as well, but to save time, I chose to make all those from one fabric, so the rest of the block came together quickly.

I have enough fabric for two more blocks, and I think I will turn it into a wall hanging.
ScrapHappy Day is the 15th of each month, organized by the kind Kate Chiconi. It is a fun day to visit blogs and see what creative projects everyone has come up with!
