Square Deal?
16 Patches
42 x 60
It's a finish!
I think I've mentioned several times that a few years ago a couple of folks gave me gallon bags of 2 inch squares. I had quite a few of my own. I've used most of them up now in several different quilts.
This is one of the first tops I made and I pulled out most of the dark and light squares that were novelties and geometrics. I made 16 Patch Blocks.
I quilted it on the diagonals. The binding is an old calico.
The backing is a creature feature.
The theme this month in my sewing space is March Madness (Quilting) Marathon. I'm going to concentrate on finishing up a lot of the small tops I have in the TBQ (to be quilted) pile. They will then be donated to:
Your March Madness Marathon is quite impressive~!!! Love this one too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun 16 patch and love the backing.
ReplyDeleteI commend you on finishing all these quilts. Don't your shoulders hurt quilting all these big quilts on your domestic machine? Bravo! Bravo! ;^)
ReplyDeleteThat is a pretty one, Cathy! I love how anything goes in when you're making these blocks, and then organizing them by lights and darks makes a wonderful design. Great finish!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun backing for these lively squares!
ReplyDeleteFabulous scrappy quilt. I will have to try that pattern. Great finish.
ReplyDeleteI like the way you have arranged these squares, another lovely quilt.
ReplyDeleteYou'e on a roll with your March Madness quits Cathy, I do like this latest one using all the small squares.
ReplyDeleteI just started sewing random print/white 2.5" squares together as an L/E. I think this layout would work great for them!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great looking quilt. Great use of those little squares.
ReplyDeleteI like the look of this one. I'll have to keep it in mind for a future donation quilt. I certainly have plenty of scraps to make one.

Great block for using 2” squares. A more organised look than just adding squares. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThat's another "oh wow!" from me and I know that they were sewn individually. No quick strip sewing here! I do admire you for sewing them all together. Sewing those tiny squares can get frustrating at times, well for me anyway! How's your garden coming!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your finish. Lucky you receiving 2" pre-cut squares. Clearly you are putting them to good use.

ReplyDeleteI can't even imagine getting that many quilts done in a year let alone in a month! You are very productive! What an inspiration!
