Sport Themed Happy Blocks
40 x 60
Ready for giving or gifting.
I love novelty fabrics. Years and years ago when the grandkids were little I participated in a lot of novelty swaps so I could have a variety of novelties to use in I Spy quilts for them and my grandnieces and grandnephews. I've used lots of the swapped squares but still have lots to be used. Most squares are either 6.5 inches or 4 inches. Last year I decided to go through a lot of those squares and sort them into some themed groups and then make some kiddo sized quilts. Last year I made a bunch of tops and this year I hope to quilt a bunch of tops and send the finished quilts out into the world. Maybe that will free up a little space in my sewing room.
Happy Blocks are always a fun way to showcase novelties and use chunks of scraps. They are also versatile in that any size center and framing strips can be used to make a block any size you need. In this case I used some 6.5 inch sport themed centers and 2.5 inch sides.
I quilted it with some spirals. A kind soul sent me the sport themed backing fabric. The green binding was leftover from binding I made for a wheelchair quilt earlier in the month.
