Here you go sister...a new pattern, just for you! I know you love the disappearing 9 patch...but, how about a 4 patch? Good, I'm glad you're intrigued, lol!
Look thru your 5" blocks until you find a bunch of lights and darks.
See the upper pic on the right? 2 dark patches and 2 light patches, sew them together, like the pic, press.
Now grab that shape cutter and center it on the seam line. I want to make 1 1/2" cuts, so I centered the ruler on the 1 1/2" slot. Now if you cut thru the 0 and the 3 slots, you will get the 1 1/2", from the center, on both sides...see it?
...the center 4 patch matches up with the outside patches...see it sister? Yeah, the flower is correct, the block is brown, lol!
Do you like this block? I found it on a new to me quilting site. I might have to get carried away and make a bundle or two...how about you?
Love, sister
Thanks for sharing your Disappearring 4 patch. Love it. Like your sister the DA9 patch is one of my favorite ways to make a quilt.
ReplyDeleteNow you know what I have to do ah!!!
My quilting group is going to make a quilt with this technique next Saturday. I won't be there to do it but it looks very interesting.
ReplyDeleteThis block makes my head hurt... I think I need to look at it a few more times to get my head around it... It's interesting... and a little intriguing... and harder to plan the outcome than a D9P... definitely has possibilities... maybe just one trial block... hmmmmm...
ReplyDeleteI love this! Thanks for showing Georgie and letting me see too!
ReplyDeleteWell that's snazzy! I had never heard of a disappearing anything block.
