ScrapHappy - December 2023

 Welcome everyone to ScrapHappy day when we post about what we are doing with scraps.

I'm hoping going to be able to move into my dad's house at some point in the first quarter of next year.   And trying to think ahead for that move, I decided I really needed to get rid of some of the accumulated boxes and fabric I'd kept from the last several t-shirt quilts I'd made.  I'd kept sleeves and backs with the intention of turning the extra fabric into donation quilts..........never happened.   

In the cleaning out of the t-shirt leftovers, I also found the sleeves of several denim shirts that were leftover from a commission done early in the year.  All were long sleeves so I had lots of fabric to work with.  I cut them up into 5" squares and then paired them with 2 sets of novelty print 5" charms that I'd cut from scraps in my stash years ago.   Haven't decided what I'm going to do with these yet, and they will get quilted at some point.
