Home Run
(Baseball themed Happy Blocks)
40 x 60
Ready for giving or gifting.
I'm still trying to finish up a bunch of donation tops I made last year in an effort to move out odds and ends and bits and pieces of this and that.
I have a box - my HAPPY PLACE- full of a variety of Happy Blocks and centers for Happy Blocks. Most are the result of a variety of swaps I participated in with different groups back when the grandkids were younger. Sometimes we swapped Happy Blocks, sometimes we swapped novelty centers in different sizes with or without a theme and sometimes we sent around centers to a group of people and they bordered our centers and sent them back (when postage was cheaper) and I bordered theirs and sent them all back.
I found an almost complete set of baseball themed Happy Blocks in my Happy Place. I only had to make about four more blocks and I had a top. Good thing! Those bits and pieces weren't doing anyone any good stuck in a box.
I probably have enough centers and fabric for two more baseball themed quilts this size. But I'm thinking after I get all these small 40 x 60 quilts finished and donated I'll move on to twin sized quilts for donation. So a baseball themed twin sized quilt may be in my future.
I pieced the back.
I quilted it on my DSM with swirls or are they spirals?
The binding is a variety of blues from the leftover binding box.

Great finish, it will be appreciated! A baseball 'I spy' Happy Block quilt with a fun back, what's not to like?
That's a good feeling to clear out projects getting them finished, I agree.
I'm always happy to read about your Happy Blocks! Your stash is a seemingly endless vat of themed fabrics :)
