Treasure Quilting

I think Last months RSC color was Darks - but I was not inspired at the time. Then I had to find ways to entertain myself with my foot elevated. ( just so you know - my apple watch tells me I stand about 13-15 hours a day.. sitting is HARD)

So I dug thru a bin and found some browns, 


and then An idea came to me... make some 16 patches... and some crumb blocks


I made them and threw them on the wall - they were a MESS. I had to rearrange to see what I had!



I had the top 12 -  16 patch blocks made, but I started digging in another pile and found the bottom 16 patches. That is when my husband came in, admonished me, and then said - Oh - is that Treasure Quilting?  and it stuck!!! 

I kept staring at those 16 patches trying to figure out what to make out of them. The crumb blocks were already going to the *parts department* ( thanks Cathy for that term) but I didn't want them all to go there!



I started playing, and realized I needed a few more 16 patches to actually make this quilt - so I made 2 more!!! and Ta Da!!!  A buffalo plaid 16 patch haha!!!

A month Behind - but!! I am counting it for this years Rainbow Scrap Challenge. 

And keeping my fingers crossed I will have it pieced and MAYBE even quilted by the end of the month.

It turned out quite pretty! I love browns. :) LOL over your "doctor" husband admonishing you. :D Hope your injury gets better fast, it's just too inconvenient, right?
