A Sixteen Patch Top

Sixteen Patch Top
40 x 60

It will be a donation quilt when finished. 

I didn't take my usual clothesline photo because I don't want to brave the ice outside on the back steps or the icicles hanging on the clothesline. 

Someone recently sent me some plaid and homespun fabrics. Someone else recently sent me some scraps with some solids. 

I was looking for something easy to make - something that would not require much thinking - so decided to make some strip pieced Sixteen Patch blocks from some of the fabrics I was given. I decided on ten inch blocks made of 3 inch strips for a kiddo sized donation quilt. 

Today I will make some Four Patches from the strip ends and see if I can whip up another top.

    You made such a great quilt out of fabric I would not know what to do with as they are my least favorites. Nice finish!

    I agree with Grace -- the fabrics do the work in this lovely combination.

    Mindless sewing for the win, Cathy!! You used some scraps to make something that will soon keep a child cozy and warm.

    The look a like solids contrast so well against the alternate blocks. This will make a very cheerful quilt.

    I love the plaid and striped shirt scraps mixed with the solids! Those blocks made such a fun quilt.

    A good use for the homespuns. I have a bunch of cut up shirts that would be great for this. Sometimes simple is what's needed.

    Laying on your couch is a perfect back drop for that quilt. Those type of simple patchwork quilts are my favorite.
