Scrappy

I have been playing around with these 6" foundation paper pieced half-square triangles for a while and they are So. Much. Fun. I have ...

The vortex quilt project was a great scrap buster. I got 2 quilts out of that project. But for some reason, after all the mess all over my sewing room, and working several months on those vortex quilts, I still had a huge pile of scraps!! They just seemed to multiply!!!
