Scrap Happy in April

In the middle of making all those Hourglass/Big Dipper blocks and flights of geese (see previous posts) I received an email from the Welcome Blanket Project. I've contributed to them in the past but it's been a while. They request blankets that are 40" square. I want to use the geese and the Hourglass blocks for a larger quilt but I have a quantity of 6" Shoo-fly blocks in the Parts Department. (I have even more Hole in the Barn Door blocks that size but I'm not willing to part with them at this point apparently.) I can put 36 of the Shoo-fly blocks together with a two inch border all the way around to make a 40" square quilt top. 

So I pulled out the blocks and auditioned them on the design wall. 

They still need to be sewn together and a border fabric chosen but this is a good start. 😊

Scrap Happy Day is hosted by Kate with the intention of giving us the opportunity to share something we've made out of scrap materials or have repurposed in some way. We show our work on the 15th of each month in our various time zones (Kate is in Australia and we have players all over the world). Click on the links below to see what everyone else has been up to.
