I love the 16-patch block. It is a strong grid and when done in scraps, the grid gets messed with.
72 blocks set 8 by 9
80 by 90 inches
These blocks finish 10 inches.
Cutting:
Solid: eight 3 inch squares
Print: eight 3 inch squares.
My design using a traditional pattern. Use at your pleasure.

What a lovely scrappy look; yet it is peaceful too with the solid squares. Just found your blog through Wanda's blog: Exuberant Color. So thrilled I have found a new blog to read. Off now to look through your older posts. Thanks for taking time to share your quilts.
i love the fabrics you have combined to create these blocks.

Lovely quilt--the solids give your eyes a nice resting space--bet it uses up a lot of scraps...hugs, julierose
Very cute fabrics in your patchwork. Beautiful.
The little children in the one print are adorable!
I have started one of these with 2.5" strips for 8" blocks with solids and all African fabrics. I love the 16 patch checkerboard look too and have made several but never get tired of them.
Well done, Lynn. another great quilt. ;^)
Awesome quilt! I love every one of your plains and prints quilts!
Great blocks! I love all those novelty prints!!
I like your description: "a strong grid." I made a 16-p earlier this year and the design appealed for exactly that reason.
Beautiful scrappy 16 patch, so colourful.
I have been making lots and lots of 16 patch baby quilts and a few lap sized quilts lately. I am cleaning up leftover strips from past projects so I am strip piecing all my blocks. With the units that I don't have enough to make a block, I just sewn them together and make a multi colored patch top. I had a bunch of 3 1/2" strips that I paired with solid Kona and I am now working on the pile of 2 1/2" strips. My strips are African Dutch Wax prints.
I love your block with the fish fabric!
