Calico Sunny Lanes
My construction of this quilt was a little different than the traditional one (Everything I make seems to be a variation!). I have sixteen-patches on hand (thanks to a generous gift of 3.5" squares from a QB member), so I made the chevron blocks with half-square triangles and put the quilt together using the sixteens and the chevron units. Rather than using a solid for the diamonds, I went with a light calico. Everything is from scraps and from stash--it measures 86" x 86". I did simple, straight line quilting, and I added a red binding to pick up some of the reds in the quilt.
One of my sisters loves calico, so I think she will like this one--plenty of calico to go around!

Your sister will love it and the fine job you did.

I love this great colors! I think she will Love it. and I too have mine planned to do with sixteen patches as one block then HST on the others. I am doing my 16 patches out of strips left over or cut up from leftovers of other projects. then making short strip sets for some of the blocks and then using my left over four patches to make up others. Trying to use up leftovers.
