Good idea. I presume the 4 patches will be the larger blocks, with smaller, maybe fussy cuts for the small squares?

Thanks, I wondered about that. I have a second selection of fabric that might be a better choice. I'm still looking!

I'll definitely post a picture when I have something going, but it may be a while.
