The pipeline of Happy Block Quilts is flowing fast now.
Today I have three finishes to share with you!
With an inventory of a LOT of blocks, I am able to find blocks to fit just about any theme. And how am I currently determining that theme? Right now, it has to do with what backing materials I have.
With Winter coming quickly, I am trying to use up any flannel pieces I have.
So Quilt #4 is Happy Farm.
Dorothy (who used to own a quilt shop) sent me a huge box full of large cuts of fabric. One of the flannels she sent was this fun farm animal themed piece. So I made the quilt just the right size for the piece of fabric I had. This fun little quilt measures 40 x 48"
I see a lot of fun prints but this one is too hilarious not to share. Silly farm animals driving tractors - I recently received another block in a different colorway. It is a good thing I never saw this fabric. I would have bought far too much! I laugh every time I see it.
Quilt #5 was also built around a backing. I received a bunch of butterfly blocks early in the drive. So I made a small Happy Butterly quilt.
I knew my friend Penny had given me some scrap butterfly fabric (along with some other soft pink pieces) so I used them as the inspiration for this quilt. It measures 40 x 48" also.
Quilt # 6 is rather small. It measures just 32 x 40". It has all sorts of fun dog prints in it.
It was inspired by a piece of Paw Patrol fleece sent in by Kelly and her sister. It was a nice thick fleece so I didn't quilt in any batting. Some Paw Patrol fan is going to be very happy with this little quilt.
I still have a few more flannel and a fleece or two that I am trying to get used so the quilts get distributed in the winter. I am also focusing on making some larger quilts for bigger kids. There is sure a lot of planning that goes into making these quilts!
I am so happy a friend is coming by today to help me sew up a bunch of blocks. I so appreciate my local elves that assist me in getting these quilts over the finish line!
Thanks to all who have contributed - these Happy Blocks are making some really cute quilts!

Oh goodness, the farm animals driving tractors print is fabulous; thanks for the close up! These quilts are super delightful and I love how you are able to create themes around backing prints. They are sure to be big hits when they are gifted!
Cute themes. . .love the bitty paw patrol! All the quilts will be loved!
They look great, Cynthia!
You are doing a wonderful job putting these cute blocks together. I love Happy Blocks, and stitch them myself for children's donation quilt.
