The first time I saw this pattern was at Bonnie Hunter’s Quiltville Inn. Another quilter had it on the idea wall. When I got home I bought the downloadable pattern from The Quilt District. Then I started going through my fabrics.

I really liked putting these strip pieces of the blocks together. Instead of paper piecing, these were sewn to muslin, which will stay in the quilt top.

Now to decide what to use for the plain pieces of the blocks. This Tula Pink was an ombre with yellow to orange. I had to do some careful cutting to get the colors of each block that I wanted.

I finished quilting and was just about to start trimming off the excess. Look closely at the top right corner of this picture, you’ll see I failed to quilt one piece of the block. Back to the Sweet Sixteen.

Finally the binding.

Finished and hanging on the fence at the lake. I think this will be the perfect fall quilt to use while watching those football games.

After I had posted a picture of this quilt on Facebook a friend asked what I had used for backing. Here’s the shot I sent her, Surprise.
