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!
Stay tuned!
And sew on...

The 'stained glass' multicolor print pulls everything together. Will you have enough of the yellow for the third quilt in the series?
Seriously always amazed at the beauty you create from the quilty fodder of others. The stained glass and orange really set this scrap happy quilt off in a happy sparkle hug.
Clever and creative. It's so very happy!
