This month's Table Scraps project was inspired by a little Valentine mini at Temecula Quilt Company and some orphan blocks I found. Here's what my orphan blocks looked like:
A four patch with one light corner when turned on point makes a V,
which easily translates into a heart shape.
In pink, I had two that looked like this:
Yes, penguins on pink!
With some setting triangles cut from my stash of Tula Pink Fairy Dust, I ended up with this little mini, measuring about 10 x 14.
But that's not all - I had another orphan block to use up, too.
Another penguin - this time in a log cabin block.
You might remember this photo from a few weeks ago - I was working on bringing the log cabin piece up to the right size so that I could use it for the backing of the hearts!
Here's how the log cabin side looks after finishing.
Reversible!
This month's Table Scraps mini quilt has landed on a bedside table, which it is perfect for.
Thanks, as always, to the Joyful Quilter for these fun challenges!
If, like me, you enjoy sewing up little quilted items for around the house,
then this is the place for you!

Fun table scrap finishes. Love those penguins.
Orphan blocks for the ABC (Table) SCRAPS win!!! Thanks for your continued participation in the challenge, Diann!
What a great little topper and I love that it is reversable. Great job.
Perfect little toppers! Those are so cute and I always love when you spy a "surprise" in a scrappy block. Love those little penguins peeking out.
Oh, very cute! Reversible and usable, too-- a win all around!
Fun challenges and beautiful finishes. She definitely is an inspiration.
What a fun finish! And I love R&T! Thankfully my daughter got me a year on Brit Box for Christmas!! I am going through favs one by one! Love all your work on SAHRR.
A little mat is a great way to use up small orphan blocks for sure. The wavy quilting lines are perfect for it.
I love both sides! Great use of the orphan blocks!
Clever! Using up orphan blocks, using the color of the month, and making your little topper reversible! Well done! How much Fairy Dust do you have left? It’s the perfect background for so many projects !
You have beautiful projects in progress on your design wall, Diann. THis little finish is gorgeous and fits perfectly on a bed side table. Happy to read that wonderful Mike got you to the eye doctor and to get new glasses safely. I had the experience of driving through a mini snow storm last week. Very uncomfortable but proud of myself for getting through it in one piece.
So cute, I love both sides!
Just cute as can be! I love that it’s reversible too. Such a clever way to get the V in for the challenge. I’m sure I never would have thought of that.
Those are cute table scraps! What a great way to use some orphan blocks!
Glad your table topper for this month is also reversible, Diann. Love the two sides. Great use of those little penguin scraps. Your table topper is lovely.
Your little table topper is so cute. Love the fussy cut penguins.
