Today’s paper piecing Monday is a little detour from the regularly scheduled sampler quilt. Over the weekend Amanda at What the Bobbin? started a fussy square block swap and I was so excited I started making blocks almost immediately. There is swap joining details and a downloadable pattern on her site.
The idea of pulling out some of my fun novelty fabrics, fussy cutting them and making them into 4 inch blocks was too much fun…. here is what I have done so far.
I have so many great novelty scraps I can see myself getting quite carried away. But for now I am going to finish making my 12 blocks, then move onto finishing up some of the quilt tops I have laying in pieces around my work space. I want to have a finish for Friday.
Have a great week.
WOMBAT QUILTS 
Those are all too cute. Do you happen to know what line that camera piece came from? Thanks for sharing your work, I am always inspired.
Hi Margaret… the fabric is Out N’ About by Caleb Greay Studio for Robert Kaufman. It also came in a black/white/grey colourway which is also really fun.
the hedgehog is delightful, all the blocks look so fun, what a great top this will make
Eeeeeee these are so cute! I’ve been on the fence about joining because I have so many other things on my to-do list. Although I’m sure these work up super fast!
They are so quick to make it is crazy. Not a big commitment at all – 6 blocks took me about an hour including cutting time.
But what about the agonising over fabric choices BEFORE the cutting? I could have lost an hour just rummaging in my stash. That seems to be where I get delayed. You must be better at choosing (and in a timely manner) than I am as your combos all look great.
So cute. I love your blocks. The hedgie is so sweet. Great job.
Loving all your blocks! These blocks are quite addictive.
Thanks for joining the swap 🙂
these blocks are so cute! I love the little hedgie!

Love them all. I don’t usually buy novelty fabric but now I wish I did!
These are the most adorable blocks I have EVER seen!!! Love it.
These are sooo cute! I’m going oohhh from one to another 🙂 LOVELY!
Predictably, the hedgehog is my favorite! I just fussy-cut her (him?) for a project I’m ready to start! Are those robots a Kokka print? They are too cute, too.
I love Lizzy Houses designs and the hedgehogs are so cute. I can not wait to see what you do with yours. The robots are definitely Kokka. I bought it ages ago and have been using little pieces.
They’re all so cute!! I’ve pulled all my fabrics for the fussy cuts, i just need to decide on the rest of the squares!
Adorable blocks! makes we want to run to my stash and start fussy cutting.
Wow! You do have some perfect scraps around for these! So cute. 🙂
Loving that camera block, but your stash is unreal. Love all these fussy cuts!
Fabulous …….just love these block so cute. Thanks for sharing, your posts always make my heart sing. Have a great day………Marie
Eep! So cute! I don’t think I could pick a favourite though those deer are ridiculously adorable!
Adorable! Love them.
