Several of you thought I was teasing you with my stack of greens and neutrals, I have a reveal for you! They quickly became four patches...
That I cut up... red lines are my cut lines.
Rearranged and they became disappearing four patches(D4P).
And a bunch later...
they became a lap size quilt flimsy at 40" x 56".
I used lots of different green and neutral 5" squares. Yes there are several repeats too, and I am okay with that.
This will eventually become a donation quilt. And you might think this made a dent in my scrap bins, nope! How can one make a quilt and not see a difference!! But I feel better knowing I used some at least.
I hope you will join me in linking up to, or at least visiting these fun linky parties.
What a beautiful use of those squares! You've worked quickly too.
ReplyDeletethat is always a good block to make
ReplyDeleteI love disappearing anything - they are always so unique. The scrappiness really adds to the charm.
ReplyDeleteOh look at that! The disappearing 4 patch makes a really pretty design, and I like how it spreads the colors around the quilt, too. Great mystery reveal, Vicki! :)
ReplyDeleteThat was quick! Great job on what will be a nice donation quilt.
ReplyDeleteWhat a chic scrappy quilt, Vicki!!! The kind of quilt that one just wants to look closer over and over.
ReplyDeleteWow, you stitched up those blocks super quick! I love the design. Who knew that disappearing nine patch blocks could be so fun for the eyeballs?--TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteWhat a great quilt. I have tried to reduce my scraps with the same results.
ReplyDeleteLovely use of your scraps (or yardage!) But I totally agree with you I can't see dents in my stash even when I finish a quilt. Although I might be seeing some in my box of flannel fabrics. I made a small streak of lightening out so some of the fabric and I'm going to piece the back today or tomorrow. Once I put everything back in the box I'm hoping to see a decline in it!
ReplyDeleteClever you, and you whipped up that quilt in no time!
