Here is the finished 48 block pink and green 16 patch with scenery fabric inserts. I have staystitched the edge so there will be no popped seams or strectching of the edges. It is approximately 48" x 64".
I decided I should sew the baby quilt top also using all of the really pastel pink and green blocks. It is 36.5" square.
This is probably the best true color photo. Hanging on the chair are the 2 backing fabrics. Now that I added rows to the larger one I will have to piece the backing.
Yesterday morning I decided to play with my African fabric scraps since I created a few more of them when cutting for the colorwash. I have starts of 10 blocks here which will go with thesewhen finished. I will have to make at least 4 more blocks for the project I have in mind.
Pink and green splendor on both pieces. Your true color photo kind of surprised me as to how soft the colors really are. A lovely Sunday post today Wanda.
I really like those scenery inserts a lot in the 16-patch quilt...nice eye-resting places...hugs, Julierose
