Does anyone have the directions or know where I can get them for a 6" Happy Block?

Or is there such a thing? I find there are so many things you can do with these blocks, it would make a great charity quilt for kids, I also loved the pic of the table topper that was posted.
Thanks

Hi Mare all you would need to do is reduce the size of all the pieces. You could make the centre piece 3" and the boarders 1&1/2". So yu would cut your centre piece 3&1/2" and cut the boarders 2" that would make a 6" finished (when in a quilt)
Hope this helps.

Yep, sounds like good measurements Midge. 3-1/2" center squares and two pieces 2" x 3-1/2" and two pieces 2" x 6-1/2"

I've also seen a WH quilt with even smaller blocks, but the center was smaller in proportion. They were 4" finished, I think. For this size you would cut a 1-1/2" center blocks, two pieces 2" x 1-1/2" and two pieces 2" x 4-1/2".

They are many possibilities.

Thanks Midge and Linda! This will really help out because the grandsons want some quilts of their own again. It is rewarding to hear your grandchildren say they love Nana's quilts and want another one for their bed! This will be perfect for that! Of course, that means more dinosaur fabric and more Spiderman and Batman too. I honestly think I have plenty, just need to find some solid to match and I should be set!
