My favorite designer is Lori Holt and on November 6th she started a sew along using her book, Scrappiness is Happiness, which includes 32 different quilts. The quilt was designed to use one of each block in the book and then put that together to make one really big quilt.

The first block was called Buzzy Bee and I completed it today. This project will take 32 weeks plus in order to complete as I will usually stick to the timeline and only do what was scheduled for the week. It helps to keep me motivated to complete the quilt and not get aggravated if I go ahead and do a block wrong because I didn't wait for directions on how its supposed to be completed.

There was a fat quarter bundle designed to use for this project or you could use your scraps, hence the name, Scrappiness is Happiness. I purchased the fat quarter from the Fat Quarter Shop as I wanted to keep working on my Lori Holt collection and was hoping some of the older designs would be included. 

At the end of the 32 weeks, you would sew your blocks into rows and then those rows would be sewn together until you completed the entire quilt.
