Teeny weeny (sweet Sixteen) trial pattern
I spent today trying to develop a pattern for a teeny Weeny, or sweet sixteen. Those are the tiny collections of 5 fat 1/16. Yes, that's right 1/16, or about 9"x11". I wanted to use as much of the fabric as possible, a lot like a puzzle. Two failed trys, and the third try is oh so close. Here is the fabric that I bought at Boardwalk quilts in Long Beach during our recent visit to go razor clam digging. I will post the dry run using fabric that mom sent from Pennsylvania, all sort of vintage stuff, combined with two pieces of fabric that I came home with from the Wannabees ugly fabric exchange. Hope to have a detailed pattern in a week or so and will post when ready.

mom's electrical panel cover
Yes, that is the actual name of the quilt. When mom heard that I had started quilting she asked for one to cover the electrical panel in her home. Silly girl. she really should have waited until I had a little more experience. At that point in time I had only completed one kit quilt, hand quilted. So, not having a clue what i was doing I began making a bunch of (guess what?) churn dash blocks and stars. Mom had a particular size in mind for the finished project, and I had it in mind to make it 5 blocks by 5 blocks. Sure that worked well. My flying geese had some really odd measurements. so anyway, machine pieced, hand quilted.
