This quilt is number 72 in my 2” series of quilts using a lot of 2” squares and strips!

I actually finished this one quite a while ago now but have never featured it because I didn’t have the pattern written - or the photos taken and ready to go!

This one features 16 patches of scraps with a couple of shadow effects - one on either side of the 16 patches - put on point.

Then I used a 4 patch for the cornerstones which then created the effect of something hanging down such as either chandeliers, or icicles, etc.

I had taken some pictures of it before we got snow - let me show you - but I had some creases in the quilt. So, I rewashed it to get rid of the creases and took it outside during the snow and took more photos. I do see, however, that the brightness of the snow kind of washed out the detail in the photos. Sadly my photographic skills work better when there is no snow - as pretty as it is when there is white all over the ground!

Let me show you the photos I took before we had snow. With creases. The creases were because I had it folded up sitting in my living room for months.

The quilt turned out very well! I like it a lot. I did use light gray as the background - not white, just in case that is how it looks.

I quilted it with swirls and curls.

Here it is - from one of the sides.

The quilt roll - because I love how they look!

I suppose in some ways this is also a lesson in how easily quilts get fold creases in them. Thankfully at least in this case, they came out in the wash.

I have too many to simply put 10 on a guest bed at a time, though that would help, I suppose! (I should try that - wonder how that would look!)

Better to move them out to new loving homes!

I did write up the pattern. It is here. I hope someone can use it!

Have a great day wherever you are reading this! Stay safe!
