This week's adventures in 4-patches led to a little double-four-patch play.
Yeah, the pink was a surprise to me, too. Not my favorite color, but since I had it close to hand for October's RSC color, the blocks just seemed to land on it.
But the setting wasn't quite what I wanted. I did a bit of rearranging and came up with this one -
That's better. A border or two, and I'll have a cute little doll quilt or table topper. And another setting scratched off my Infinite Number of Four-Patch Settings list.
Now to get all those itty bits sewn together!
Linking with Quilting is more fun than Housework for Oh Scrap! Come join the fun!
Hurray for pink :)
ReplyDeleteThere are so many layouts for 4 patches. I look forward to seeing what all you come up with. Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!
In the first photo, the border looked orange and I thought AWESOME. I still liked it in pink, but it didn't sizzle. In any case, the mix of scraps is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI like your fun and scrappy four patches! And why not add in some pink, too?! I have a ton of four patches in my pile of orphan blocks that need some love - you're making me want to get them out and play around a little!
ReplyDeleteJust by rearranging the 4-patch blocks it draws the eye toward the center so nicely. Good going!
ReplyDeleteLovely, lovely, lovely!!!
ReplyDeleteSo...you could write a book about 4-patches and all the ways to use them!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, I'm partial to a bit of pink! Sweet setting too.
ReplyDeleteHow fun! Congrats on figuring out project 1 for part of your 4-patches.
