Scrappy Sixteen Patch Quilt

Today's quilt finish is brought to you by a I'd love another quilt for Christmas! prompt from my sister at the Thanksgiving dinner table. I come from a family of quilters and with almost 25 years of quilt making myself, I'm never really sure if my family wants more quilts...or feels like they have too many already. Although, is too many quilts really a thing? 

This fat quarter bundle I'd stashed away from Morgan Kelly Quilts was the perfect color palette to match my sister's decor.  The exact bundle is no longer available, but I love every bundle Morgan puts together!

We celebrated Christmas a few weeks early this year, so that meant only seven days of sewing time from start to finish. A basic, 16" square sixteen patch was the perfect, quick pattern. I really appreciate a pattern with minimal scraps. Twenty-five fat quarters were needed for this 5x5 block layout, measuring 80x80". 

The all over quilting pantograph was done on my BERNINA Q24 longer using the design called Slick from Urban Elementz. I love how the quilting gives so much movement to the overall design. 

Hand binding will always be my favorite. There's something so therapeutic about the process as you put the final touches on a finished quilt.  You can find my fool-proof double fold binding tutorial right here.
