Oh dear, I should have been working on other projects, but a squirrel popped by my window, distracted me and I was off in a different direction. LOL
I have bins and bags of scraps and I just started pulling pieces and before long a pile was formed and blocks were being made. There were a lot of 1-1/2" strips and 2-1/2" neutrals. Rail fence is one of my favourite blocks to do and that is what were made.
Before too long, all the blocks were made. Just need to start sewing them into rows and into sections. Border fabric has been pulled. I'm on a roll! Did it make any difference to the amount of scraps? Nope, but the way I look at this is that these pieces will never be touched again. Win-win!My studio has had a bit of clean-up and two bins were emptied. How lovely to see! I have a bin of French General yardage that will be given to a friend who is working with that fabric line. Another bin will soon be emptied. Oh my, win-win!
Batting is getting used up and soon I will have an empty bin and bag. Win!
Scraps are getting used up. More strips will be pulled out and Rail Fence blocks will be made as Leader/Ender method while I start working on projects that I should be working on. Win!
I have a couple more tops that will get quilted and then mailed out to a person that is in need of comfort. It is nice to go to my stack of quilts and pull out one or two and donate them. I really do need to downsize my number of quilts in my home. Any that are not being used for display will go. Family will be happy as there will be less quilts to deal with later ....
Cherish your day, cherish your life, cherish your country (and mine will always be Canada)!

These are all lovely quilts! My go to leader/ender project is 4 patches or 9 patches. Happy stitching!
Good idea to have an easy leader/ender project. Your two donated quilts will be much cherished by their new owners.
is that glee i hear? i do believe and i know how that feels to empty bins and use up scraps...loving the squirrel! i am saving that for future reference...lovely quilts off to new homes....
That’s a pretty good squirrel project. I love the rich colours. You are doing very well in emptying tubs. I need to get sewing more to empty some of mine.
Empty bins and empty bags, See squirrels are not always bad. Lovely scrappy top and two lovely donors.
You certainly have a lot of scraps. Rail fence quilts are always splendid. The two charity quilts are beautiful.
Nice squirrel 🐿️ project.
You donated two beautiful quilts.
Always good to donate when we get too many quilts.
The two quilts you set off are so beautiful!!!
The squirrel was so worth it. You didn't purchase fabric and you cleaned up!
