Little One with MarDi

There’s something so charming and cozy about a scrap quilt, or in the case of our inspiration photo, a scrap pillow with an adorable . . . Bee? Butterfly? I went with Bee since I wanted to use the cute bees in my Whimsy Stamps BEECAUSE stamp set (retired). I’m also smitten with the dreamy colors – brown is such a lovely contrast with the pastels.

I used an older Diagonal Quilt Square Cover-Up die from MFT Stamps for my card . . . .

. . . . and I used Hexagon dies from Unity Stamps for my tag.

It is very satisfying to pull out my patterned paper scraps for projects like this. If you’re like me, it’s not uncommon to save the tiniest scrap piece, and when you finally use it, you congratulate yourself for saving it for just such an occasion.

I love all the different ways my teammates were inspired this week. How about you? Are you team Bee or team Butterfly? Or perhaps, you just want to make a quilt. We would love to see how you’re inspired. ~MarDi
