New start: This and That in blues and greens

 Good day, and welcome to my blog.  It is raining in the American Midwest, so it's a good day to sew and quilt.

I have a new start: one of the Free Patterns from Quilted Twins.  They have a great array of free patterns, especially good if you have lots of 2 inch squares or strips.

I collected my blue, green, and teal scraps and fat quarters for This and That, cut squares, then I started assembling 16 patches.  My sewing table looked like this:

I cut strips and squares with wild abandon.  I do not count, even if the pattern says you need 365 (or 1288) squares.  So I always have leftovers.  Not with this project though.  I was able to make the 72 16 patch blocks with only a few rejected yellow-green fabrics left behind.  I tried to use colors from grass green to teal to blue-green to blue, to slightly purplish-blue.

Here are my piles of blocks.  If I have counted correctly I have 72.

The next step:  Add snowball corners to 32 of these blocks.

That's as far as I have gotten by Wed. morning.  I plan to continue on the 32 blocks, then start cutting sashing strips and hopefully start assembly.  I plan on less borders than in the pattern.
