I used some scraps from sewing up a Modern Bliss lap quilt to make a little mug rug:

I’m taking a Craftsy class (strip paper piecing) to improve my skills, and this was one of the blocks in the class. I feel much more confidant with my paper piecing now, and am bummed that I’ve now done all the blocks. I might need to get a paper piecing pattern book (suggestions welcome)…

(this is the back. I’m loving wide binding on the back right now)

I put lots and lots of quilted rays on this one. the whole finished block is 7.5″, so it’s quite small.  A little bit of sunshine in perfect weather right now.

I also used some bits to make a little dress for the Bean. she’s so funny, because she’s super girly and pink and wants dresses, but also climbs trees and roars when I ask her to pose. LOVE her. (also love that she’s tiny enough to make clothes for from scraps)
