Sixteen Patch Blocks

First of all pardon that I didn't crop and edit the photos properly.

I have been sewing the blocks over the last few weeks.

I made up a kit so that I would have something to sew when I went to bee etc.

But they are so easy to sew sometimes I just end up sewing on them at odd times and now I've just finished sewing all 123 blocks.  Enough to make an 88 x 88 inch quilt top.

How will I arrange them?

I thought about the old way of grouping like colors but I will probably go with the random as I like it better.

I love this bed of yellow roses that John planted for me a few years back.

It smells heavenly out here!

That is my gift for being out here in the hot weeding and spraying - the best things in life are free.

Thursday - Sewing in the Dining Room

Friends C & S came over to sew today.  So we set up shop on the dining room table.  

I worked on my 

16 Patch Blocks.   I sewed a few more after they left.  My "scorecard" is in the background.

I have 74 done - I'm aiming for about 120/25 blocks so that I can end up with an 80 x 96 or an 88" square quilt.

I'll take them to work on at the Bee on Saturday but I doubt if much sewing will get accomplished.

Bee members who have things they want to sell (sewing/quilting related) are bringing them and we are having a little yard sale.  Now that will be lots of fun!!!!
