Four-Patch Charm

| Four-Patch Charm 64 x 70 inches Quilt of Valor #226 |
The Four-Patch Charm pattern has been on my radar for over a year, and I glad that I finally used it to make a Quilt of Valor.
The blocks have a LOT of bias edges, so they require gentle handling. I also used Best Press (a spray starch) to help eliminate some of the stretch that bias edges create. Only one of the fabrics gave me problems (a red batik that stretched quite a bit and required several pins to tame it.)
Pattern information can be found on this earlier post.
It might have been tricky, but it was so worth it. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHow interesting!
ReplyDeleteThat has a great look to it!! Interesting that the batik was stretchy, as it usually has a tighter weave. Beautiful results!
ReplyDeleteWow that is a really cool design!! Well done!
ReplyDeleteWonderful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work! This one is so amazing with the white to separate the color--I really like it!
ReplyDeleteWowza!! That's spectacular!
ReplyDeleteI can't even imagine sewing that. It is spectacular indeed. I've never been abe to sew well on the bias.

That is a very striking quilt. Those bias edges are really tricky but you handled them well.
