It's A Finish! Sixteen Patch and Sawtooth Stars

It's a finish!
Sixteen Patch and Stars
60 x 84




Full of homespuns and old shirts. 

I quilted it on my DSM with horizontal and vertical lines. 

The backing is a homespun fabric too. And I had enough for the binding. 

I think this one will go to a neighboring farmer with many hospitalizations who finally received a diagnosis of Myasthenia Gravis or to my sister's long time (50 years) friend with cognitive problems who is moving into assisted living.

And sew on...

Love this finish! It "feels" old and loved to me. Just want to wrap up and snuggle in it. I think the recipient will treasure it!

Happy quilting and happy Saturday to you :-)

I love the look of this one--so homespun and comfy--my favorite old-fashioned look with those fabrics you chose. Beautiful work on it...hugs, Julierose

Whatever the destination, this cozy plaid quilt is sure to bring comfort, Cathy!

This got to be my favourite quilt. It's so country and warm-looking that I just want to snuggle in it. I need one! You are such an inspiration to me. Have a great day! ;^)

That is such a pretty quilt, pretty colors, and should give great comfort to the recipient. There is just something so comforting about plaids in a quilt.

Gretchen Weaver said...

Lovely quilt! It will be appreciated by whoever receives it.

I love this quilt with its quiet, muted colors, though maybe it's brighter in different light. I need to get busy with some of my plaids!

Linda said...

Love everything about this quilt- the subtle colour combinations and the alternating stars and 9 patches ( those two blocks compliment each other so well). Another wonderful finish.

Jenny said...

Those two blocks pair so well together. Believe it or not, I've never made a plaid quilt, yours looks so comforting.

I could just squeeze that quilt, it looks so comfy. Normally, I am not a fan of homespun fabrics, but this changed my mind. Whoever gets it, will definitely feel hugs.

Love this quilt - especially the colorful shirt plaids! It looks so warm and comfortable already.

This looks great! I've probably had this pattern since 2018. I started collecting old shirts from the thrift I volunteer at, and have plenty to get one started now! Maybe in January....

As I scrolled through the comments, everyone was already saying what I was going say. This two blocks work so well together and the fabric choices give the quilt a real vintage feel. I'm glad it will go to someone who needs comfort right now.

It already has the look of someone's favorite quilt. What more could anyone ask?

You did a fantastic job on this one (as always). I love the homespun and it looks just like the inspiration quilt! I'm probably going to have to try to make that one. I will put a note somewhere in my squirrel projects which will keep in close to the front of the line! I just love it.

What a great idea to combine the stars and 16 patches, perfect!

Such a cozy-looking quilt! I do love homespuns.
