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 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.

    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.

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

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

    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
