Disappearing Four Patch...6th Edition

Do you have a "go to" quilt pattern that you seem

to make over and over again?

Or am I the only one who does this?

There is something so soothing and comforting for me

in making Disappearing Four Patch quilts.

I think the pattern makes a great baby quilt,

it's so easy to put together

and it highlights the fabrics.

Here is my latest edition.

(And another pile cleared from my Hidey Hole!)

I had a charm pack of the color fabrics and purchased

yardage for the white blocks and the border.

To quilt the borders, I followed the aqua zigzags throughout the fabric,

all the way around the quilt.

For those who know me,

you know how much I dislike piecing backings.

This is a rookie job compared to what some of you do,

but I didn't have to purchase fabric for the backing.

This one is ready to give to the sweet little one who is due the end of May.

Just for fun, I've gone back and looked at all of the

Disappearing Four Patch quilts I've made.

I attended a "Control your Scraps" session

and ended up with a tub full of 5" batik squares.

These two quilts came from those squares and solid white.

I love the striped binding on these quilts.

These fabrics were left over from another quilt I had made.

Again, I paired them with solid white.

Another D4P made with batiks.
These, too, were left over from another quilt I had made.

These fabrics were a prize at a quilt retreat.

I purchased the border fabric to go with the 5" squares.

Believe it or not, I have blocks made for another D4P.

They are the sister blocks of the quilt I just finished,

so there will be a 7th edition at some point!

Enjoy your day

and

Happy Quilting!
