    4" block patterns

    For those of you who like your blocks small, here's a link for quite a few that are 4" finished size.

    Thanks for posting the link. I love the looks of the quilt, but
    I wouldn't have the patience to make the first block.
    Hugs, Sharon

    Thanks for posting these mini's ... a great resource.

    However, the finished size is 4-1/2" not 4" as stated above.
    (the link said 4-1/2" then, I printed a few to verify)

    Oh, thank you for finding that. I must've not looked closely enough at the fine print... LOL! Seriously, thanks!

    I think we train our brains to think that unfinished blocks are 1/2" and then thay finish at even measurements.
    When I saw their note about 1/2", then I was curious, and printed a few out to check.

    So for anyone thinking to substitute with DJ blocks, these won't work!
    (of course, unless you downsize them)

    Regardless, they'd be fun to work with and make a sampler .... oh what I don't need ... another project!

    There are some pretty blocks on this link. Wish they were bigger. I'm going to check all of them and save the ones I really like. They may come in handy for corners, etc. Probably can make some of them bigger also - with a little thought and some math. Thanks for sharing.

    Or just look for another site that has the larger ones, and save yourself the challenge of making them larger!
    QuiltersCache.com will have a lot of them.

    As the kids say -- "DUH!" Why didn't I think of that? Brain has not engaged this morning. LOL. Thanks a bunch for the reminder. Much better idea than all that math.

    Google for "increase decrease patterns" and get a chart with instructions for using a scanner to make a pattern any size you want it.
