The scrap bin has no bottom...I've been making string blocks again, I've decided they are messy and create more scraps than they use up.
But they are very easy to make...
I found five or six small crumb blocks in the bin a few days ago...they turned into this...
I added a few orphan blocks to it also. I've decided I don't like making crumb blocks (I actually decided this ages ago but this reminded me again). I have no idea what I'm going to do with this. I do have a few other orphan blocks I might add to it or maybe I'll stuff it back into the scrap bin. I'm not feeling any great need to make this into something.
I finished block 4 of the Threadology quilt. I didn't realize until I was pressing them at the end that I made an extra small one. Oh well.
Since retiring I've had more time to read honest to goodness books with real pages. Here's a picture of Bella pretending to be a lap kitty while I'm reading. Have I mentioned she's a big girl? Almost 12 pounds. She goes from a lap kitty to a lap stone after about 10 minutes.

You cracked me up :-) Bella is a beautiful 'lap stone'. LOL I definitely know what you mean! I agree with you about the crumb blocks. I like the idea of it but not so much the execution. I have seen it done with just one colorway and they look pretty fun but I never have...one colorway. I got another charity quilt done but have not sewn much else. Life seems be centered around Gloria getting moved here which happens in about 10 days!
I love all the scrappy goodness of those blocks.
Those lap stones get pretty heavy in a short time.
you're having a great time with scraps! I've always wanted to make some of those crumb blocks.
what a sweet kittie!
They are all looking good. I 'almost' don't like making crumb blocks but I cannot stop making them! Lap kitties also make good heating pads!
