This week I got my Lyra tablerunner top sandwiched for quilting and it is in progress!
Meanwhile I've been trying to figure out what to do with the scraps from this project. There aren't very many scraps, but even so I don't want to stick them in the scrap bins and have them just sit there!
Last year, after making Sandra's Glowing Hearts quilt, I went on a quest to use up the leftovers from that project and ended up making a tablerunner and a placemat out of them.
There's not near the amount of scraps from this year's project (because it was started from scraps!) but there was enough to make twelve little 3.5 inch four patches. Since the color of the month for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge in June is pastels I'm thinking these will turn into my scrappy placemat for the month.
I still have to decide how exactly I'll use these four patches,
but they'll turn into something!

I really admire how you try to tackle the scraps after a project. The little four patches are darling. Love the green fabric ; it is such a pretty shade. Happy quilting, Diann. Hugs.
What a great plan for your scraps! I agree with you about trying to use up the scraps rather than sticking them in the scrap bag!
That layout for the little four patches looks like a plaid to me! I have some quilt tops that need to be quilted. They are on my list of things to sew this summer. I like the way you are quilting your runner. Gail at the cozy quilter
Neat way to turn scraps into something!! I need to start working on my overflowing scrap bags once again...maybe just a scrap vortex is the way to go...hugs, Julierose
I like how you put those scraps together! Placemats are a great quick project, and I'm making more of them too.
That is a beautiful arrangement with those scraps. Great progress on your runner - such pretty colors!
Your scraps certainly count as RSC pastels for this month! The Lyra design is great.
You kinda have a gingham effect going on there with those scrap 4 patches.
I remember last year how you were able to find so many projects to use up those scraps! I'm sure these four patches will find a good home. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.
