I used all the scraps on my table to make a couple of hearts.  One is mostly red, for the lotto, the other I made into a small mat and gave to my sister in law.  Both used lots of little pieces and bits that were left over from recent...

Three Red Hearts

These are my three blocks for donation.     Sophie invited us to share the made fabric process.   This is how I did the first two.
