As a reminder from last time, I am making two blocks each month instead of 1 as I plan to do a slightly different layout in the end. Which is so fun because then I get to play with more fabric combinations. And I just love the yellow and navy of the star points in this one!!! And I choose not to do any embroidery or applique in the center of the blocks, and rather fussy cut the centers :)
I am using Gretel Fabrics from my wonderful friend Amy Smart and they are just so cute in these blocks ;) I especially love making those scrappy log cabin borders!! Not only does it help use up all of the little scrap pieces, which I love, but it also is a super cute way to finish each block!!
And there they are!!! Two #2 Blocks for the Happy Little Things BOM!!! And if you are quilting along be sure to share all of your Happy Little Things progress on social media with #HappyLittleThingsBOM and #HappyLittleThingsQuilt and add them to the Happy Little Things Facebook Group. And be sure to check out these other bloggers to see lots more Block 2 Eye Candy and enter for more chances to win the September Giveaway!!!
