I’ve been keeping up with the scrappy bear paw blocks that Darlene has us making for a 52 week quilt block challenge.

 These blocks make me happy! It’s also been really fun going back through my scraps and finding pieces big enough to use. You can find out more at Darlene’s facebook page.

I have a finish too! My word of the year mini quilt is complete. I used Pat Sloan’s free letter templates (scroll to the bottom to find them)  and more scraps to make it. 

I wanted to share one more thing with you –
