This quilt is really much easier to put together if you make a 16patch block from four 4patches and a 4patch block from four HSTs.

On! Very Pretty! I love what those Batiks do to quilts.

Maia B 03-28-2011 06:07 AM

Thx for this! It would make a great leaders/enders project. That is, you can use the square units (at least) to scrap on and off as you piece. Great way to stop wasting thread!

sylviasmom 03-28-2011 06:18 AM

I've made one using batiks. Goes together very nicely. Someday I may get it quilted.

How many of you joined the HST and Strips Exchange on the Quilt Show site????? I did and am constantly looking for good ideas to use all these HSTs and Strips ----this is a great site with many appropriate patterns.
Thanks so much for sharing, Kutnso

Check out quiltville.com for more information.

I went to check this out. Amazing what quilters think of as a way to do two quilts at the same time!!! Direct link is here:

The black background in the one linked to above is very dramatic though. I may try it again at some later date. In the meantime, I keep working slowly but surely away at this undesirable UFO jewel box. I carry the scraps in a zip lock back and hand piece a little here and a little there.

I love it!! Do finish it!!

I think your quilt is beautiful and any little girl would love it. I know, it's not dramatic like the one with black is, but it is still very beautiful. Just finish it up and give it away to some little girl and the little girl will think that she is loved by someone.

I love it. Want my addy?

eniluap 03-28-2011 11:45 AM

I like your version of the jewel box too. I like the pastels.
