I got some news earlier this week that you never want to get. A dear friend who I have known since kindergarten, was diagnosed with ovarian cancer.
Feeling the need to do something for her, I dug out my box of crumb scraps and looked for all the reds. Some were already sewn together, so they were definitely invited!
To make what I had in mind, I needed two 3.5 x 6.5 rectangles. That was pretty easy to come up with!
Using the free pattern for scrappy heart blocks from Cluck Cluck Sew, I made this block.
I made a whole quilt of these a few years ago - find it here.
This time I wanted something small that my friend could use for a mug rug,
or just a mini comfort quilt to show I'm thinking about her.
So, I layered this with batting and backing, and decided to hand quilt it. It shouldn't take too long to finish up.

Rummaging around in that crumb scrap bin gave me an idea for this month's Table Scraps Challenge, too. What will these turn into? I have a couple more weeks to take care of that project!
