Yes, and here we are again! Spring has finally started to show up around here although it’s supposed to snow a bit next week.  I posted a picture of some of my garden coming to life.  Yayee! Spring and warm weather!!!

Did you ever think about all those scraps that you’ve been saving……put aside? You know…….all the ones you didn’t pick? The ones left over, too ugly, just didn’t go or didn’t match! I know I was always one of those kids that always got picked last for the team.  Well, think about all those little squares couped up in a bag or in a box sometimes for years! LOL! There they are just waiting, looking up at you or those little wrinkled wads that are stuck in the corner of the box with hardly a breath of air.  Do you think they hoping for a moment to get picked, to fit in and show their stuff?  Are they secretly yelling “Pick me! Pick me!” Well, here’s your chance to make a whole lot of 2″ or 2 1/2″ squares happy! They’re not too ugly. They don’t have to match and they all will fit in! I think we could all use some of that in this world these days! Don’t you? Maybe I should name my next mystery “Happy Scraps”. We’ll see if I remember!

When I made up this pattern I gave up counting 4 patch units so if you don’t have enough just make some more!

OK, here we go!
