Sixteen Patches for a Raffle

Just a simple lap quilt donated for a fundraiser for the Special Education in our town.  The center block was a leftover; on white muslin I pounded leaves and flowers to stain the cloth.  After heat setting the colors, I stenciled on the design from a stencil I cut.  I used oil based wax with a toothbrush for he stenciling.  Then strips from the scrap heap made the patches for the 16-patch blocks.  Threw it together, machine stitched in the ditch, and off it went to raise funds.
