The Happy Block quilt pipeline is filling up and I should soon be sharing very regularly all the fun quilts I am making using your donated blocks.
I have quilts #2 and #3 for you today.
First up is Happy Zoo. I received a bunch of cute animal blocks and at first it was going to be Happy Safari but I realized I needed to use alligator and panda blocks to have enough for the quilt.
All the blocks look so cute together!
How adorable is this back. I lost track of who gave me that fun tiger fabric but I knew it would look great with the leftover tiger striped fabric I used in the last block drive.
Happy Quilt number 2 measures 40" x 48".
How cute is this Happy Dog quilt? This one is Happy Quilt #3.
I received about a yard of the colorful dog fabric and thought it would make some fun vertical sashing. Before I cut it, I did a little quilt math to be sure I left enough fabric for the binding.
Karen donated this bright red dalmatian fabric. It wasn't quite wide enough but I knew I had some B/W dalmatian dots in my stash.
This dog quilt measure 45" x 56". I am sure I will have enough blocks for a second dog quilt - I will try and make that one a bit bigger. As a dog lover, I would love a dog quilt even though I am an adult.
So many fun blocks are coming in daily. The floor of my sewing room is covered with stacks of various themed blocks. This drive takes a lot more space and organization than previous drives - but the quilts all make me smile as they get done!
A big thanks to all who have donated!

Oooh, I was wondering how the blocks would be grouped together. Great themes and quilts for #2 and #3!
You are going to have so much fun with this block drive. I think I spied one of my blocks. I forgot to take photos of my blocks before I sent them.

Adorable!! I've been busy with work and haven't even made more than 4 but it seems you've got many helpers already! Cynthia, these are adorable and so colorful! Well done and what fun you must be having!!
It's fun to find blocks I made in these cheerful assortments.
