Scrap Happy is a group I joined to help encourage the use of scraps from our stash and to encourage each other to use what we have. I find that relatively easy to do as I'm trying not to add any unnecessary purchases to my stash. As I sit and write this, I'm looking at my stash and seeing lots of older, tired fabrics that just need to be used up or destashed. Most of the pieces are less than a yard.
So what scrappy goodness did I manage in the last month?
Let's see . . .
Hedge Hugs 2 and 3
These are so cute and I love the nine patches for some added interest, yet stay simple for a baby quilt. I only have the tops done and still need to sandwich and quilt, but there's time for that.
A couple of examples of scrap vortex sections. These make great leaders and enders for other sewing. They also are great mindless sewing when I want to spend time at the machine but don't want to think to much or hard on a specific project. It's really good therapy :)
There are three of these beauties in progress. The center panel was a purchase from years ago. Looking to make some new and fresh Easter projects, I ran across them in the box. I had just participated in the SAHRR and liked the process very much. I used that process to make these. I am thrilled with the end results. Like the Hedge Hugs, these are only tops at the moment and will be quilted and finished at a later date.
My post is a couple of days late. Honey Do and spring are responsible, and my lack of better planning :)

Having now seen these great baby quilts in person, I can authoritatively say you did a great job! I love how great they look together, and not at all as if they were thrown together with leftovers. That's what makes the best scrap quilts. I totally agree with what you said about vortex. It also pleases my Scots soul to use up every piece of expensive fabric that I can!
