Four Patch Economy Block
2.5 inch scraps in the Four Patches
4 inch corners cut on diagonal for sides
6 inch finished
I now have 28 blocks. Target is 70.
I think I will move my goal out to 120 or 130 blocks for a twin sized quilt instead of a kiddo sized quilt. I have this little box of fabric chunks for the sides and bag of 2.5 inch scraps for the Four Patches set aside and have been adding to it as I come across suitable scraps.
Floral Happy Blocks
8.5 finished
5 inch centers
2.5 inch sides
Target is 63 blocks and I now have 32.
And sew on...

Sweet pink blocks. Happy reading and happy stitching :-)
I especially like that you have FOUR words to comment this year. I found one to be rather restrictive and I stopped choosing one a year or two ago. Your approach makes MUCH more sense (and I love all the pink today!).
Looks like you have hit the new year full-steam ahead! Great start. Here's to Happy Sewing in 2025!
Your pink happy blocks fit the name well. Enjoy your reading.
The Economy blocks are so cute, I'm tempted to sew some up just to use some scraps. I wonder if scrap makes a good insulation. ?? I like Dean Koontz books. Enjoy! ;^)
Your blocks are pretty in pink! I have read Dean Koontz in the past, but don't think I've read that one. It sounds good!
Pinks abound in your stash. Great start! Can’t wait to get back to my sewing space so I can rummage through mine!
Sewing and reading! The best parts of life =). Pretty pinks and an interesting book. Enjoy your week.
Pretty in Pink indeed! Dean Koontz, I discovered him quite some years ago, and loved his scary books. He caused quite a lot of interest using quotes from The Book of PaInted Sorrows (I think that is the correct name) and librarians worldwide were scrambling to find this book. Even I, from far away New Zealand, wrote to the publishers enquiring about it. Seems the book was a figment of Dean's imagination.
I feel perkier looking at all those pinks! Happy blocks.
All good words. One of mine is "no procrastinating"! :) I love your pink blocks. They are going to be beautiful. Even though I like dark and bright fall colors, I am ready for the spring-time pinks.
love it! Such a cheerful quilt in the making. I’ve got an economy block on my mind too. Basic and shows off fabric so well. I like to do one with novelty prints. Whatever works to bring joy! My words for the year are love and happiness. My son is engaged to be married next new year’s eve. i intend to focus on the good things as we watch them build a life together. I am already cherishing my daughter-in-law to be with her smile, joy and kindness. Did i mention that i have 5 boys and now have a girl in my life!! it’s a year of love love love!!
