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 like what I see. I don't think I've seen a quilt with florals and plaids like this. Have a very merry Christmas. xox ;^)
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.
Oh this is really pretty. Going to be nice all together. Merry Christmas!
So cozy - makes me wonder how many florals and plaids I could scrape up.....

I cannot tell you how happy these sixteen patch blocks make me feel! They're just wonderful. Wishing you and your husband and all of your family a Merry Christmas!
These remind me of quilts I have seen from the 1930's and also the quilts my grandmother made - the one who had a farm outside Oskaloosa.
I would feel very comfortable with a quilt like this. Like others have said, the florals and plaids look very old fashioned and vintage together and complement each other very well even though I wouldn't have thought of that combo myself. Since it's now Boxing Day as I'm writing this, I hope that you had a good holiday.
