A Tiny Owl and a Sprouting Garden

I loved making this week's Tiny Tuesday block!  You start with a mess...


and end up with an adorable owl!  Thanks go to Sally at The Objects of Design for this fun block!

His head appears a bit wonky, and I think that's because I cut one eye a smidge too big.  But he is his own unique self, right?!

Fun with green scraps!


I also got my Scrappy Sprouts blocks sewn into columns and connected with the Grass Green Kona.


Oh, I am loving this!

Right now, this section of the quilt measures about 30.5 tall  x 63 wide.  Since I want the finished top to be a tall rectangle, I'll need at least 33 more inches for the sky and sunflower section.  I might add a green border to the very bottom to get more depth there.  I definitely have plenty of fabric to do that with!

Happy Saturday to everyone!  I'm linking up with Soscrappy for Scraphappy Saturday!

  2. Those eyes ... He's so cute! I think your fabric choices make him more obvious than the original. I haven't had the courage to even think about starting him.

  8. Loving all your green blocks. The tiny owl is cute. I would probably not have noticed the eye if you had not mentioned it. I may have to make an owl to go with my kitty tiny block. The sprout pattern is a one I have been wanting to sew. Yours look wonderful. You are sew inspiring today ... :-) Pat

  13. Your Sprouts flimsy is looking wonderful. I love all the bright, happy colors. And your owl is too cute! I used to be obsessed with owls, and even named one of my cats Oliver Wendell Livingston (OWL). ...(where did THAT random thought come from???)

  22. I think it appears wonky because he tilted his head and gave you a cute smile. Love the little guy.

  23. Cute owl. And I like that you have now sprouted some grass. My Sprouts are still lingering and need some fertilizer.
