These are some of the sets I cut and had ready to go.
It was just a matter of start sewing :).
So up they went on the design wall and they started to multiply. I timed myself and it takes about 4 minutes to make one - pretty fast!
I'm not really concerned about colors at this point - anything goes!
I've started tweaking the blocks just a little - mainly to spread out the darker ones.
I've taken out a few of the lightest ones - they just didn't seem to go. As you can see, I'm using anything!
So here it is at 100. I'm going to definitely make 2 more rows so it will be 10 x 20. I may decide to make more. I'm thinking at this point - no border. The most incredible thing about this is that my pile of scraps does not seem to be going down!! Plus I'v now got lots of little pieces - I think I see a crumb block quilt in the future :). I'll look for the magazine where I first saw this idea and post next time. Have a great day,
Karen

I thought that the Happy quilt did not look 100 years old. LOL! 100 of those happy blocks means you had a lot of fun and still more to go.
I can see that you were having fun - it makes me smile.
400 minutes of fun! I love it...keep going, Karen!
It is so FUN! Love it!
What a sweet quilt this will be! And so fast, too! Love that!

What a fun piece! It's great to see how to use up little bits to make something so wonderful and colorful. This is my kind of quilt! Right-o NO borders. It's just perfect as it is. I love it!
Colorful, it is, square, wonky, delightful,,,,yes yes yes...
They look fabulous! Truly a happy quilt!
Happy is as happy does, well done; it's a celebration of color and joy!
i am IN LOVE with your quilt! keep going! it's gonna keep getting better the bigger it gets.
i have found the same thing...the scrap bins don't shrink with just one quilt. but if you make 7-8 scrap quilts in a row, you WILL see a difference. i promise!
