I'm joining in with Joyful Quilter's fun Table Scraps Challenge again for 2025. Small projects are my favorite kind and there's always something in the Challenge that gets me thinking! For January, the challenge was to use pink (the RSC color of the month) and sew something that was inspired by anything cozy or a warm beverage.
So... ever since I sewed the zipper blocks for an RSC project, I have enjoyed following Lynn at Klein Meisje Quilts (who designed the zipper block) because I love her designs. In December I discovered her teacup blocks, and wanted to make some. I also had a scrap bundle of fabric that I bought on a trip to Grand Junction, Colorado, to use.
There are some pretty blues, a pink, some turquoise, and a gold in ⬆️ the bundle -
perfect for this project! I did figure out that these are from the Hampton Court fabric line, by Karen Lewis Textiles for Figo Fabrics.
So, I started making these sweet tea cups!
I ended up making six of them - for a little quilt that measures about 9.5 x 18.5.
More scraps were used on the back and for the binding.
I made it that size so that it would fit in a specific spot - on top of our microwave. That's where the coffee mugs go when not in use!
Fits perfectly!
And there was a bonus Table Scraps project this month, too - just because. I quickly finished up the gray crumb heart that I shared in my Thursday post. It was a poor orphan block that I found when cleaning out a storage drawer. Now it brings me a smile!
Just sew!
