and here they are slapped up on the design wall. I now have 54 of the 90 blocks I need sewn together. That comes to 60%.
I got started on sewing the strips together for the next batch of blocks. I need 36 more blocks. I have no idea how many blocks I will get out of these strips - I didn't bother to count yet.
When I was cleaning up plies of fabric looking for more prints for cutting strips for this quilt, I cut these wide strips out of my pile of neutral fabrics. I saw this on ebay for these vintage 17" nine patch blocks that I liked. I thought to myself why buy these when I have fabric that I have had so long it is now vintage so I will make my own vintage neutral nine patch blocks! LOL!!! Look at the stack that I ended up with! This will be one of those projects that will take a while because I will sew these when I have a few minutes here and there.
That's going to be so pretty
ReplyDeleteYou really have a good variety of colors in your 16 patches. The neutral quilt sounds like fun too.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of making your own neutral 'vintage' blocks. The 16 patches are looking bright and beautiful.
