Scrappy 16s on the 16th



This week's RSC effort 
involved the sixteen patch project.

I laughed when I realized 
they'd be shared on the 16th of the month.




These simply make me happy.




The goal is a quilt top
in the 48" x 64" range
meaning I'll need 48 
of these 8" blocks. 


48 divided by 3/month
means this will be a
sixteen month project.


16 - 16 - 16

Really ?!?

Remember my bird post
from a few weeks ago?

Lynne has just finished
writing an excellent tutorial
for her birds.

It is available 
for only $10

Go on . . . 
You know you've been
wanting to make 
a flock of your own.

(I've also added a 
permanent link
to the tutorial
in my sidebar)

Sixteen is a good number, so embrace it! We have two family members and a cat (make that three family members) with birthdays today. Anyway, I love your sweet sixteen patch blocks! They are smile-inducing.

The photo of all of the blocks together looks like it will be an amazing quilt! I would be tempted not to wait so long for a finish!

I love the word background. Because of your projects, I've made one quilt with word backgrounds and now I buy word fabric every time I find some. Thanks for helping add to the stash!
