ScrapHappy - April 2026

Welcome to Scrap Happy Day where we post about the scrappy projects we've worked on over the past month.   

Be sure to check out what everyone else has done with their scraps this month - KateEvaSue, Lynda, Birthe, Turid, Tracy, JanMoira, SandraChrisAlysClaireJeanDawnGwen, Sunny, Kjerstin, SueL,  Vera, Ann, Dawn2, Carol,  Preeti, VivKarrin, Amo, AlissaTierney, and Hannah


First scrappy project was getting all blocks for this quilt completed and then getting them together.  I'm currently debating on what to do for a border.  Would love to use the remaining solid strips that I have, but that might not happen.
I also managed to get this scrappy top quilted.   The churn dash blocks were from a long-ago swap and are all scrappy.  The bars in-between the rows were pieced from teeny scrappy pieces using adding machine tape.  Border was a remnant found in the stash, and the batting was a leftover piece someone else gave me that was big enough for this quilt.  Backing was from an end-of-bolt sale piece.

Gratitudes:

1. I've healed well from the hernia surgery and feel better than I have in several yrs.

2. A bit of a cool front is going thru the area this week so temps are back under 90 degrees here in the southwest.
