My big project for the week was the finished quilt I chat about below. The second major project was assembling the top and backing for a Tshirt quilt for my sister. It's my second oldest UFO, and it's going to get knocked out yet this year.
After and in between those largish tasks, I pieced the rows of 16-patches. I'm quite happy with how it's looking, even if I now regret using anything for the background other than white or cream. This is destined to be a teacher quilt, but I cannot tell you how much I want to keep it myself.
I powered through the Assistant's quilt, which is found in Kim Brackett's Scrap-Basket Sensations. She pieced the strips, chose the combinations for the blocks, laid out the blocks, and chose the borders. Everything was from my stash and scraps, except for a few fat quarters she picked up at a quilters' garage sale. It finished about 72" square.
Be sure to check out other scrappy projects for inspiration!

Great progress this week. So many tiny pieces!
Wow, there are so many tiny pieces in that first photo, but the effect is enormous! Congratulations to your assistant - her quilt is super!
Wow!! You have been busy this week!! LOVE both of those quilts, but what size did that 16-Patch turn out to be? It looks quite generous for a teacher quilt!!
Such lovely work this week. Your assistant's quilt is darling.
Wow, that 16 patch looks so great! I'd be tempted to keep it for myself, too. Nice job! I admire your patience!
Oh my goodness! Look at all the pretties you've got here!
That 16patch is going to be really hard to part with, I can see. It's absolutely stunning.
A charming quilt with the friendship stars. Very nice finish.
I love how the colors of the little four patches blend together. Beautiful work!
Wow, you are a workhorse! Those tiny pieces would make me go blind, so I will do a double bow to you for your ambition and perseverance! It looks awesome. :-)
wow! those 16 patches are amazing! something about timy pieces of fabric always makes the block up over the edge...
I would not be able to give that 16 patch away.
A truly amazing quilt!! It is absolutely beautiful - congratulations!
Love that scrappy Kim Brackett pattern. I'm sure whomever get that will love it. Your assistant has an eye for color like her Mom! Great job.
The tiny weeny little four patches among the four patches are sooooo smaaaaallll. Incredibly small!! Your quilt is awesome. Love the little stars in the sashing of your assistant's quilt. It makes the quilt even more interesting. Congrats to both of you. ;^)
I just love the look of your sixteen patch quilt, that's one lucky teacher. Once again you amaze me with the amount of projects you work on and get done. Good luck on the T-shirt quilt.
The 16-patches look gorgeous! Such a soft, rainbow mosaic.
LOVE the sixteen patches -- I would have a VERY hard time giving that one away.
Love these quilt tops. It would be difficult for me to part with them, too.
Woohoo--Go Katie Go!!!
