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!

Your owl is so cute! I have to find the appropriate fabric and start on my block too
Also Your Scrappy Sprouts is wonderful! I love this scrap quilt! :-)

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.

I am loving the green sashing in between your sprouts and it sounds like you have a plan, way to go. Little owl is just precious!

Linda said...

I love the owl!! those eyes really stand out perfectly. I'm working on so many things I'm glad I didn't jump into Tiny Tuesday also - but I would have loved doing the owl.

Oh, I was so glad you posted your owl. Mine in wonky the same way.....so at least mine will have a "friend like him" in the Tiny Tuesday world. Your sprouts are yummy! I am anxious to see that one done!

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

He is cute. I love what you are doing with your sprout blocks. I'm doing sprouts this RSC year and am excited to see how they come together.

I love your owl! And I love the scrappy sprouts, too. Can't wait to see that done. Bet you can't either!

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???)

I knew I needed to see your owl before I could even think to start

Laura said...

OMG! I LOVE that owl. He is adorable... I could see a whole baby quilt made from him...... or her!

JanineMarie said...

Such a fun little owl, but, Wow! Those colorful sprouts! Perfect time of year to be getting that garden growing.

Preeti said...

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

Cathy said...

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

Susie H said...

I'm looking forward to getting back home and sewing up that cute owl too. Your sprouts are gorgeous and really growing! Both projects made me smile!!!
