Happy Days!

Yes, the days are very happy around here lately.  In spite of the tremendous amount of stress on a daily basis from the dogs and work, my days are definitely much, much happier than they were a year ago, so it's all good. 

I have found some time to work on the blocks for my dot quilt nearly every day.  Some days more than others, but even little bits of time add up.  The fabrics in the blocks are so happy that I'm thinking that Happy Days might be the appropriate name for this quilt, particularly given how happy I am feeling while I am making it.  What do you think?  Or maybe Happy Days Are Here Again would be better?  That was the first name that came to mind, but it seemed a bit long.  Maybe not.

I plan on making 90 blocks at a finished size of 8 inches.  I have been working on the first 30.  Here they are so far.  I will keep adding strips to each until I can trim them to 8 1/2 inches.

And here's a closeup of a few of the blocks.
