Happy Scrappy Birds

In between other projects, sort of Leader/Ender style, I've continued to make more 9 inch Happy Bird blocks.  They are just a 5 inch center square with 2.5 inch outer borders, alternating lights and darks.  I'm up to 30 blocks now - progress!



Here's my latest favorite -

Don't you think those cats would love a little penguin snack?!

I haven't bought a single bit of fabric for this project, except for this  -

It's a two yard piece I found in the sale bin at my LQS - I think it will be perfect for the backing.

Hope you're enjoying some weekend sewing!  
I'm linking up with Quilting is more fun than Housework for Oh Scrap!

I like that block it is such a nice easy block to make - I have done it several times to use up more scraps sometimes with a white jelly roll if it have it - then it can go really fast.

How cute! And growing! How many more blocks are you planning on making?! I love that you have a cat print surrounding the penguin fabric!

Carol R. said...

yes, that block with the cat print and penguins is sooo cute! Actually, I like them all, but that might be my favorite so far.

What a fun project! I had to enlarge the photo so I could see all the fabrics! Fun, fun!

Your backing fabric is quite a find - it is perfect. I like how these blocks are coming together. Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!

This is such a fun quilt. What's a birdie quilt without a few kitty cats?

Linda said...

I'm in love with this! So neat that you are doing it from scraps. Love the backing.

Cathy said...

Love that nest with eggs fabric! This will be such a cute quilt :)

Jenny said...

It's a great little pattern, and I've used it myself a few times. Love your backing fabric, just right!

The back you found will be perfect with these blocks. I love the simplicity.

I love both the cats and the penguins fabrics. I snap stuff up like that in a minute. So much more interesting than white on white or tone on tone. This will be a delightful quilt and the backing choice is perfect.

It's wonderful you were able to find enough in your stash for this cute quilt! I hope to get back to using some scraps next winter. Yes that is a ways off but I gotta have something to look forward to right, LOL
