| four-patch units ready to be paired with background fabric September 2022 |
On Friday, I started a project that I'd prepped in January. This Quilt of Valor is being made with 5 inch squares from previous QOV tops/backings. (Some quilters call the 5 inch squares "nickels.") The pattern I'm using requires 96 nickels, sewn into four-patch units. Nine and a half inch squares of a background fabric will be paired with the four-patch units.
The construction of this quilt is unique with a surprising result.
I love the simplicity of the 4-patch. I have a shoebox-size box full of 5" squares. I dig into them often but keep forgetting that a simple 4-patch block would be a good choice too.
ReplyDeleteI've got a pile sitting on my sewing machine bed I need to get to also. That looks like something fun. I can't wait to see what you do with it.
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty fabrics paired up together. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished QOV.
ReplyDeleteLooks good!
ReplyDeleteI do love a good four patch!
ReplyDeleteI have always loved four-patch and nine-patch construction. I look forward to seeing your project come to fruition.
ReplyDeleteLove all of the "patches". Four-patch, nine-patch, sixteen-patch. Your's is going to be great with those fabrics.
