Adding More 4-Patches

The stack of 4-patch blocks has grown a bit more since I last reported in. The Labor Day weekend kept me pretty busy, so extended time in the sewing room did not happen; instead, the time to pick up needle and thread and sew a quick 4-patch suited my attention span much, much better.

With the ones I have recently stitched and the ones made awhile back (so far back I can't even remember), I have 91 made. That's a good start on a quilt! Happy, happy!

I mentioned in this post that I would be thinking about how to set these blocks into a quilt, and this has been on my mind ever since. Here a couple of Pinterest pictures that might make the short list of possibilities.

Setting blocks in blue.

Setting blocks in neutral.

Set as the center of a star.

Set into a design to create a Jacob's Ladder-like block.

Set on-point with like colors creating a vertical design.

Set into a block on point and then used with setting blocks.

And one of my own creations provides a potential use of my 4-patch blocks. This little doll quilt would look fantastic turned into a full-size quilt.

While I continue to stitch up more of these adorable little blocks, I will also continue to ponder the endless possibilities for using them.

Happy Quilting, Friends!
