Sixteen Patches (Top 2 of 3)

 

It's a top!

Sixteen Patch Strippie

40 x 61

This month I've been working on emptying boxes. I have a lot of them full of this and that cluttering up my little sewing space. I had a small box of Sixteen Patches and Four Patches made of random 2.5 inch squares. Most came from other folks and have accumulated over time.  I decided to see how many Sixteen Patches I could make with the Four Patches.   Then I decided to make them into three different comfort quilts for kids.  I sketched out my three different quilt ideas and was short 2 Sixteen Patches so made a couple from my 2.5 inch squares. 

For this little Strippie quilt I made four rows of five Sixteen Patch blocks and alternated with three rows of 4.5 inch width strips of a very colorful geometric print in the middle of orange 3 inch width strips. 

Then to top (and bottom) it off I added 1.5 inch width strips. 

So, this is top #2 of 3. I hope to complete the other top this week but no guarantees...I'm still in gardening mode and have a lot to do outside. I love flowers as much as I love scraps!

Sixteen Patch and Stars Top #1

Stay tuned!

And sew on...
