Happiness Is Contageous

In seemingly no time (at least for me) this Happy flimsy is now complete, and I love it! So does the Official Cookie Tester; he took a real shine to it.

The tan block centres and sashing sets everything off so nicely, though it and the other colours in the quilt are a little warmer than this photo shows.

The outer border is made from a check called Hello Autumn and is a nice fit, don't you think? It wasn't until I looked at the completed flimsy from a distance that I saw the larger pattern of squares made by the light green lines running though the pattern. Sometimes it takes me a while...😏


Still love that cinnamon fabric that started it all. These colours are truer to the real deal.
And that Kaffe print - ooh la la!

I finished the flimsie up about a week before Easter and shared it with the church quilters and they were taken with it as well. So much so that Jean has already made two flimsies using the same pattern! I'll have to see if I can get pics to show you.

If you'd like to give Happy blocks a try there's a tutorial from Adrianne at Little Blue Bell. It's a great pattern if you need a quilt in a hurry - so many wonderful possibilities!....M

This is really pretty! I love the colors of autumn. I particularly like the fabric you used for the border ... which explains why I have two yards of it in my stash! LOL! It was perfect for setting off all the beautiful blocks! :)
