From Small and Simple Things

I've been playing in my scrap bin again.  Taking all the little pieces, sewing them into a bigger piece, cutting them up again and sewing them into blocks. 
 I'm really liking the way the pieced fabric looks with the solid reading background.
 It is making me very excited for this quilt.

You to can make something great from your small and simple scraps of fun.

It appears that you are utilizing every little scrap you have. I admire that you are doing that and I should do the same......but I just can't make myself spend the time.
