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!

Nice finishes, Diann! You are using your scraps and making something useful and pretty to look at at the same time!
Love the teacup quilting! Both projects are fun.
The teacup mini is adorable, perfect for that spot. I really like your quilting on it. I'm so happy for that little orphan heart. :)
Love the projects. Those tea cups are ADORABLE! Sweet heart too!
Those coffee cups are really cute. Fun and fast projects this week. I think we all need some of those every now and then.
The cups are so cute! And it's perfect for the top of your microwave.
Great finishes. . .you are such an inspiration!
You always come up with the best project for Table Scraps! I didn't realize the project was that small when I first saw it but it is just perfect for the microwave top.
Ohhh, those cups are adorable, Diann! And perfect for the spot on the microwave!!!
Love the teacup placemat! I am sorely tempted to make one of those for my microwave! :)
What a great table topper, or in your case a microwave mug rug. Love those teacups. I can imagine them done so many different ways - jeweled tones, fussy cut fabrics and even personalized with logos or names.
The teacups for your mugs is perfect. And it's so great you found a home for that orphan heart (which is super cute).
A challenge entry and a bonus project, too, Diann? Go, you! Both projects are just as cute as can be. Thanks for playing along with the TABLE SCRAPS Challenge!
What a cute project! Love these little mugs, and it fits the space perfectly!
Those teacups dancing in table scraps are so sweet. You stitch the loveliest of mini quilts, Diann.
What a perfect quilt for the top of your microwave. And the heart! Pink and gray is such a nostalgic combo.
