A Happy Quilty Day

Today's quilty project was making more batik blocks for 

A New Quilt For My Guy

The quilt now has five different block layouts.

These are the unit pieces I am cutting from my 

Batik Layer Cake Swap Squares

I am ending up with a few less than 3.5" scrap pieces,

but after a few trial blocks I decided it was better to have usable scraps

than have to trim my blocks too small and throw away the trimmings.

I want my blocks to be 8.5" when sewn into the quilt

because that is the size of the blocks in the quilt he likes so much.

This is the sashing color he has chosen.

My hubby's favorite color is blue

but he does like all colors, particularly jewel tones and brights.

I also made my Day 37 Block

for the  #100days100blocks2019 challenge.

I decided to take my cute little squirrel block outside for the photo.

It was a happy day of quilting.

Was your day happy and quilty?
