It's a flimsy!
Happy Blocks
42.5 x 42.5
Fodder - n. raw material, as for artistic creation.
This month the theme in my sewing space to move things forward is "strings, crumbs and fodder".
A long time ago someone gave me some frames for 10 Happy Blocks - two 5 inch pieces and two 9 inch pieces of matching fabric. I've kept the pieces in a baggie and decided I should empty that baggie. I decided I needed 25 blocks in pinks and blues for a small comfort quilt.
I looked through my 2.5 inch width scraps for frames for 15 more blocks.
Fodder
Then I looked through my 5 inch squares and 5 inch width strip pieces for center squares.
Then I made blocks.
And assembled a top.
And sew on...

If it isn't one thing it's another.
Our mailbox and the neighbor's mailbox were run over by something big last night. I picked the mailboxes up out of the ditch and left the neighbor's box near the posts. I put their very wet mail that was also in the ditch back in their mailbox and went into town very early this morning (6 am) to get a new mailbox and post.

Sigh. You are so right about one thing or another. Pretty flimsy - great use of fodder.
Lovely enclosed blocks--those matching strings are so pretty. This quilt looks like spring, Cathy..nice using up going on there.

Sorry to hear about the knocked over mail boxes. It's one of those things that should be permanent, once in place it's there until eternity.
I've always liked Happy Blocks. Sorry to read about the letter boxes, obviously some hooligans out for a ride.
Well, that’s just something you didn’t need, I’m sorry some jerk ran down your mail box. Good fodder though!
I presume sleepy driver knocked the mailboxes down. He could have left a few dollars to pay for the damages he caused. Sigh! Anywho! Love your latest top. And bravo for emptying another bag. Enjoy! ;^)
Great flimsy! Arghhhh on the mailbox/yard vandalism. :-(
"Armadillo" is an amazing mailbox design. It wouldn't have made a difference in this case, but may be an idea for others who live near those who steal mail, or use baseball bats to take the boxes off posts.

Happy blocks, sad (mail)box. What a pain. Is there much traffic on your road?
