I got the little block from Friday night finished. It's the block on the left with the pink star in the middle and blue around the outside. I finished it differently than the pattern called for because the pattern measurements were wrong and I didn't want to take the time to figure out the correct measurement, I just put the rectangle around it and called it finished. The other two little blocks went together just fine. These are all 6 1/2" blocks. They are alot of fun to do but they take more time to do for me than bigger blocks. I worked on these during the day yesterday while watching the grandbaby and doing a little housework too. The pinwheel and 4 patch on the bottom were leftovers from the blocks and I didn't want to waste them. I'll put them in with all my other orphan blocks and one of these days I'll put together an orphan quilt. That might be coming up pretty soon as I think I have enough blocks now to do it..I'll have to put those on my design wall soon and play some. Here are the little blocks I made:
Doesn't look like much work for a whole day, huh? Oh well, it was fun and I'm this much closer to a finished quilt too. These go in one of my UFO's (the 30's Sampler- Number 1 on my UFO list) and I only have about 12 more blocks to do, so I'm slowly whittling them down.

I, too, have found that small does not necessarily mean quick. Often it means the exact opposite! Cute blocks and it looks like a good days work to me.
Nonono... that looks like a LOT of work! Love your attitude about putting on a border and NOT doing a bunch o' math... *lol*
I love your blocks! My tatting is suffering, because I've been making friends with my sewing machine again. Why is there so little time? : )
I always find the small blocks seem to tske longer. I've got quite of few of my UFO's to catch up with when I get back from holiday
