I got the last 2 columns sewn on the first direction on this 16 patch quilt and then turned the quilt and got 4 of the last 8 seams sewn. I'm hoping to get the last 4 seams sewn today and then do the staystitching around the edge.
I'm so happy to have the box of 174 neutral color 16 patches emptied out. I made one top with 63 blocks earlier this year and this top has 108 blocks. There were 3 blocks left over to go into the batik orphan block box.

52 this morning early and sun rising...looks like a lovely day.
Maybe a walk on the CT River boardwalk will feature today;)))

I love the little hits of color in some of those fabrics. It had to feel good to get another box emptied and to have two more quilts made out of those blocks.
it is always nice to empty out boxes by having used the stuff that was in them!! The long seams are always a pain especially if it is patchwork matching up seams - for backings it is not as difficult of course but still tedious
Those batiks are wonderful! Long seams are no fun, but looks like you did yourself proud.
It is rewarding to empty a container, isn’t it? The colors are beautiful and calming. I’d rather sew long backing seams than quilt top seams…..there are are so many more to do on the top, lol.
I’m happy for you also ~ to reach your goal of stitching up all those blocks of neutrals . All have a lovely soft heathered look to them. Which makes them appealing and will go with any decor and gift for anyone.
This is a lovely quilt and I look forward to seeing it on your wall for it's before quilted photo.
Those last 3 blocks could become a table runner to celebrate the many 16 patch quilts you've made or saved for some use in the future. Both good options!
Hugs!
