Scrappy Squares

So I think my sewing machine caught wind of the rumour that it was going to be replaced, and decided to act a bit more cooperatively to extend its stay here. With only minimal tweaking and annoyance, I was able to use it to make these scrappy blocks.
They were a lot of fun. I used a little from the scrap drawer, a little from the fabric stash, but no new fabric. Per usual, I had to add a fussy cut, but beyond that, there has been minimal thinking or planning involved.
The blocks are 12.5 inches square. I see several (perhaps even several dozen) more of these in my future, should the sewing go smoothly without frustration. (Did you hear that sewing machine?!)
I have lots more chain pieced little border bits ready.

Happy Quilting!
