Sweet Sixteen on Day #17 of 30 Quilt Blocks in 30 Day Blog Hop and Quilt Along

Can you believe it's day 17 of
30 Quilt Blocks in 30 Days?

A blog hop and quilt along.
Every day in April there will be one super simple quilt block tutorial for the quilt along here
and 
one designer showing a project with that block on their blog.

30 days of designers 
showing new and different ways to use each of the
30 quilt blocks.


Today's all-star blogger is 


showing a project with 
Block 17 - Sweet Sixteen

Here's the block:

Size Unfinished: 10 1/2" x 10 1/2"
Finished Size: 10 x 10"

There are many ways to make this block
but we are going to keep it simple here.
Click on the block's name above for another method.

Cut 16 squares 3" x 3" - eight purple / eight white


Stitch them together as laid out with 1/4" seams.


Here's an idea for a 7 x 7 block grid with 
an inset of plain blocks


Check out what our designer of the day, 
made with this block.

I am using Tula Pink's newest fabric collection, 
All Stars to show each block.


And you can win your own bundle of All Stars too.
The giveaway ends April 29th.
I will announce the winner on the last day of the blog hop
April 30th.

One of my all time favorite designs is the simple alternating squares. Seeing Carol's quilt opens this block up to so many more options.
