Sixteen Patch
42 x 60
It's a finish!
I was looking back on blog posts to see when I made these blocks. It looks like I had most of them made by October 2019. I'm not sure when I assembled the top but it appears way back in 2019 I was thinking of making a larger quilt with Sixteen Patches alternating with Broken Dishes blocks.
I do know when I made the blocks I was trying to empty out the 2 inch width scrap bin and there were a lot of novelties in there.
Some blocks were strip pieced. Other blocks were squares sewn together - sometimes the fabrics within the square were different fabrics of the same color.
I quilted it on my sewing machine on the diagonals in light green thread. The binding is scrappy and came out of the leftover bindings box.
The backing is green with white polka dots.
And sew on...

TREASURE (one of my words of the year)
Yesterday I received a box of treasure from Katie - some half log cabin blocks and fabric for more.
This quilt just glows. And I love your word. Happy New Year
ReplyDeletepatchwork is sometimes the best quilt pattern to make from scraps isn't it - they can be so colorful

Oh how I love simple 16-patch quilts. I found one I had started in 1.5" squares while I was cleaning for the new year. Hopefully it will become something. Happy 2025.
ReplyDeleteNow this is my kind of quilt!
ReplyDeleteWhat a happy collection of blocks. It is amazing how many beautiful projects come from trying to use something up.
ReplyDeleteWhen I think of all of the quilts you have made and donated, it makes me think of the ant moving that rubber tree plant! You have done a marvelous job making all of those quilts. I love this one as much as the others! God has given you a wonderful eye for color combinations and how to use them.
ReplyDeleteOh Good word!!!! This is a great quilt!!
