cheery & colourful scrap basket treasures

I'm finding all sorts of treasures in my scrap basket,
colourful scraps all pulled from my stash.
All waiting patiently just for this moment ... for me to pick them & start sewing



- and a little 9-patch action


lots of leftovers 
sorted into a nice combo and jammed into my scrap basket ...



- loving the contrast of this itty-bitty Denyse Schmidt print with an early Laura Ashley floral


- and that's the last of this OOP pretty pink delicate Kaffe stripe :(
 

I've had this fabric for a few years now & it was screaming "pick me pick me"
and so I did!


- my pick of the bunch



- and here's how it's all looking so far down on the design floor



Hope you've enjoyed this little peek into the treasures I'm rediscovering in my scrap basket
It's a real mix, including early Laura Ashley florals, a delightful kokka blue & white, OOP Kaffe, Heather Ross, AMH, Liberty, & Denyse Schmidt 
... oh, and some recent RSS blenders.

  7. Definitely you've uncovered some beauties from your scrap basket and the nine patch and stars laid out are looking so good.

  8. They're all very pretty! I understand being able to make Nine Patch blocks from scraps, but I wouldn't have enough fabric in a scrap bin to make the star blocks you showed. Those matching pieces for background/corners wouldn't be in my scrap bin. You have very healthy scraps!
