Florals and Plaids Sixteen Patch

Sixteen Patch
10 inch finished blocks
in vintage florals and plaids.

For the last couple of weeks I've been working on these Sixteen Patch blocks as leaders/enders. I have more blocks made but the blocks in this post are the only ones I have ironed.

My target is 48 blocks for a 6 x 8 layout - 60 x 80 inches.

Plaids and florals in a quilt always reminds me of my grandmother's quilts. She used old dresses and shirts to make her quilts. 

And I always find a quilt made with the simple Sixteen Patch very comforting. 

And sew on...

I agree. I like the florals and plaids, It will be a very comforting quilt. It's so much fun to see how all of your donated fabrics seem to coordinate or at least you make them coordinate.
Merry Christmas

The blocks have a very comforting feel about them. I would have never thought of those combos, but they work wonderfully.
