After a second week of playing with green scraps, a 12.5" block made with four 6.5" string blocks, two 5.5" string blocks and a pot holder made using the two 8.5" crumb blocks I made last week will be added to my collections. The two new 8.5" crumb blocks in the picture will be made into a pot holder this week. A cotton knitted dishcloth made it into the picture. To see what others made with their green scraps this week, go here Saturday morning.
My Hands 2 Help Quilt made with Sweet Sixteen blocks is finished. The 48 Sweet Sixteen blocks made with 2.5" squares cut from scraps are sashed with 2.5" light gray strips and 2.5" squares.
The row of small squares pieced into the backing is eight Sweet Sixteen blocks sewed together. The backing fabric is a soft pale gray with a light brown print and the binding is a blue on blue print. After a go in the washer and dryer it finished at 61" x 80". This quilt will go to a local charity, Ebenezer Family, that provides a safe, loving place for children that have been removed from their homes because of abuse or neglect. They currently care for 38 children ages 3 to 21. I'll deliver this quilt May 26th.

Great job with green and I just love your sweet 16 quilt. What a great cause you are quilting for. I really need to pull my greens and start playing today.
Your scrappy quilt is so beautiful! Great job!
Love the greens!! And your Sweet16 quilt is just awesome. I like how you did the back, just a great added touch. Well done!
Sounds like a very worthy charity. Your quilt will bring some cuddly love to a child. (It turned out great!)

That is a beautiful Sweet 16 quilt Sheila! Very awesome for H2H!
The Sweet 16 quilt is darling, and what a good cause!
Lots of pretty green finishes, and I really like your sixteen patches quilt. It is striking! Adding the sixteen patches to the back just makes it all the more special.
Love your Hands 2 Help quilt, and it sounds like it is going to the perfect place!
What a great quilt!
Oh How pretty!!!
Thank you for showing us the H2H quilt. When I looked at it enlarged it was so colorful. The light sashing really sets them apart perfectly. I may even start on one with leaders and Enders, because I have so many jellyrollfabrics to play with now. Finally got them sorted. Will keep this for reference.
Love your Sweet Sixteen quilt, and it sounds like it's going to a very good cause. You're making great progress with your green blocks.
I love how your quilt turned out and for such a worthy cause. Great job!
Beautiful greens! Congratulations on a great finish. It is sure to bring comfort to someone in distress.
You have really been busy!! Love the string blocks....they are always fa proof mine. Nice knit dishcloth, too. Makes me remember that I have a stack of yarn that needs to be knit into new ones. Sweet charity quilt.
So sad to think of kids abused and neglected. Where better for a quilt to go? Congrats on a lovely finish.
And, as always, looks like you put your green scraps to good use.
Lots of pretty greens in your blocks. The Hands to Help quilt turned out beautifully. Lots of colorful scraps in it.
Way to go Sheila!! I love your backing on your sweet 16. You will make a child smile for sure :) I haven't sewn anything in forever... Life has been busy, but in a good way!
Your Sweet Sixteen quilt is really beautiful, and so is the backing!
Your Sweet Sixteen is amazing, Sheila!!! Great work!!
Very nice greens. I love your sweet 16 quilt. It will be loved and treasured.
