It’s blue again for those taking part in the Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC) stitching. No problem for me, I’ve got plenty of blue fabric here, so I got busy making some Little Bricks. I'm working on two different quilts using the little bricks pattern. I stitched a row of my zig zag bricks in dark blue, then made six of the original design in lighter blue.

Then came the Happy Blocks, such a fun and easy block to make. Once again, I’m making blocks for two kiddies quilts, one each for a little boy and girl. This time I found 5in squares featuring some comic looking insects, an elephant, pukekos, and an aeroplane for a boy, and cup cakes and flowers for a girl. I really enjoy making these, selecting the appropriate coloured square and fabric to frame it. My pile of boys squares are just about finished, but I have plenty for girls, enough for another couple of quilts at least.

Such cute fabrics in those Happy Blocks--the kiddies will just love them!! Your Little Bricks are coming together really well...hugs for a good weekend Julierose
we all have so many scraps it seems like we never run out
The Happy blocks are just perfect for really cute fabrics. I have a Happy block project to work on later in the month, and can't wait to start it.
Love the cute squares you found for your happy blocks! The Little Bricks are fun in every color, too. Have a happy sewing week!
Lots of lovely blues for RSC.

Lots of cool blues in your sewing room. Great Happy Blocks and Little Bricks. Maybe next year I'll get back to making a few different blocks. Maybe the UFOs will be under control by then!! Fingers crossed!
Those are going to be very cute quilts for boys and girls. Love the blues.
God bless.
Your Happy Blocks are fun! Love the elephant and birds! Pretty brick blocks too.
Nice brick blocks and how fun to set them two different ways for two different looks! Speaking of doubles, the Happy Blocks look sweet & fun!
Lovely to see your block collection growing.
