16 Patch Blocks

This weekend I was busy cutting fabric strips for a new quilt I'm starting.

I am making 16 patch blocks that will finish at 12".  Each block will have two different fabrics: one white background with blue, green, or black, and one orange, pink, or red print.

I'm using several Denyse Schmidt prints, Summersville, and other prints from my stash.

Selecting fabric and color combinations is my absolute favorite part of quilting.  So I'm having lots of fun selecting strips from my stack when I start each new block.

5 blocks down, 67 to go!
