It's the second Tuesday (oops Wednesday for me) of February and that means that the Scraptastic Tuesday link is open. Hope you had a Happy Valentines Day! 

I have been working with some scraps belonging to other people as well as my own to make quilts for the charity I have been supporting for several years now: Siblings Together.  The charity runs holiday camps and weekend activities to keep children in the UK Care System in touch with their siblings,as they are often placed apart from each other.

I have been asking for blocks from two bees as I'm twice Queen Bee this month and have also asked the wonderful quilting community at large to join in.  I am looking to make several versions of this quilt.

In typical TV show fashion here is one I made earlier:

Several blocks have been coming in and a second top is already stitched together in warm colours - red, orange, yellow and a dash of pink.  

Tomorrow I could be putting number three together.  If you feel like joining in there are instructions on making the two different blocks that make this quilt here  

So that's what I'm up to this month - please share your scrappy projects, in progress or completed or your tips for using or organizing your scraps.
