As of yesterday, I've finished all of my 16 patch blocks for the Summer Scrap Bash hosted by Brittany @loandbeholdstitchery. I'm pretty sure I'm right on schedule, maybe even a little ahead, as I'd originally planned on 49 blocks for a small lap quilt, and ended up with 63 for a bit larger lap quilt.

So here are all of my blocks!

I was trying hard not to use duplicate fabrics together but I didn't quite made it. I noticed one duplicate set as I was putting them up on the design wall (gold horses with dark navy) and there could be more. After a while I started to lose track!

I've already swapped a couple of blocks on the wall, but doubt I'll mess with it much more. Time to get these blocks into a quilt top! Not my favorite chore, but it needs to be done.
Those all look like fun! And I a am sure you enjoyed your scappy sewing sessions. Good luck with connecting the top. I am not the biggest fan of the bigger and bigger pieces. Working in sections helps... otherwise just simple encouragement from over here ;) xo
ReplyDeleteGreat progress! And I think Melanie is right that 'Working in sections helps' , good tip Melanie.
ReplyDeleteI sure enjoy seeing another great scrap pattern, though perhaps this design is meant for yardage. It reminds me of the 64-patch postage stamp blocks many of us made during the pandemic. I like the larger scale of yours, which no doubt uses some bigger fabric scraps. Excellent work making so many blocks too! This will make a nice, friendly, knock-around quilt.
ReplyDeleteSo fun to see all the variety; I hope they sew together quickly so you can get on to the fun of quilting. :)
