Today was a travel day and since I had plenty of time to kill on the trip home from Jamaica, I played around with some ideas for 16 patch star quilts.
For a 12 inch finished block, the squares in the 16 patch would be 1.5 inches finished (2 inches with seam allowances) and the half square triangles would be 3 inches finished (3.5 inches with seam allowances).
For a larger quilt with a 16 inch finished block, the squares in the 16 patch would be 2 inches finished (2.5 inches with seam allowances) and the half square triangles would be 4 inches finished (4.5 inches with seam allowances).
And how about a RWB one? This one is a little more complicated, but more interesting too. The pieced border continues the pattern to the edges.
I’m looking forward to being back in the sewing room but probably not this weekend … I’m very tired and Keith travels Monday so we’ll probably have a relaxing weekend … once Finn calms down after getting home in the morning!
Very pretty. I like both patterns. Hope you recover soon from your vacation
They have a fun plaid look to them. Great design.
Surely the blocks are 16″?
I love how they look.
I like the extra step to bring the design out to the border. Both designs look great. Have a restful weekend.
I love the RWB version!
