Hats and another UFO in progress again

My daughter wanted me to crochet animal hats for my grandsons-well of course I would do that! I found the cutest patterns on Repeat Crafter Me that she really liked.  A tiger for the little guy and a dalamation for the older grandson. The tiger fit perfectly but the dalmation is a tad big but it still works and he may get to wear it next year too.







And yet another UFO back in the works. Back in January of this year I pieced this X Block flimsy
which apparently I never blogged about. It isn't quilted yet and that might be why I never mentioned it.  Anyways with the X Block you have lots of leftover pieces like this...

 and this...
You are supposed to piece them for borders, but I chose not to, so into a box for a later project they went.  This week is the time to finish it up. So I got 1/2 of them pieced and trimmed. I used my rectangle Bloc Loc ruler to trim, it makes trimming easier and faster. I am not 100% sure of how this is going to look but it will be a quilt flimsy-hopefully before the week is done.

    Those hats are too stinkin' cute!! Not as adorable as your grandsons thought ;) Thanks for the link to that site. . . I think! LOL

    I LOVE that top!! Did you use a pattern? I need to make a black and white quilt. . . I have the fabric and thought I had a pattern that I was going to use but I do think I like this one better! LOL Can't wait to see what your new flimsy looks like!

    Oh my gosh Vicki - I am practically turning inside out because of cuteness! Your grandsons are too adorable! The hats are so funny, they must have a lot of fun with them. I love that quilt top. It was a good choice to save the scraps for another time.
