FEBRUARY DISAPPEARING FOUR PATCH swap - Sign-ups open until January 30[SUP]th[/SUP]. Each month is loads of fun with a wide variety of fabrics in each swap. Sew much fun!
Welcome to our monthly D4P swap. Here’s how it works: we will all be making 9 ½” ((different size this month!!)) unfinished D4P Block quilt blocks in a different theme each month. One set equals 6 D4P blocks. You may make as many as 6 sets of 6 blocks each which would be thirty-six (36) D4P blocks. Wow! That’s a lot of quilt blocks. Imagine how cool that quilt will be??? I know! Right??? If you are making one set, you may either make all the blocks using the same theme fabric(s) or you may make each block using a different theme-for-the-month fabric(s). If you are making more than one set (up to 6 sets), use a different theme-of-the-month fabric in each set.
February’s theme is
VALENTINES. Please use
ONE VALENTINES fabric then choose ONE OF THE FOLLOWING BACKGROUND fabrics per block: Red, Pink, Black or White to make each quilt block. The extra special surprise this month is a modified pattern – the
D4P with a TWIST.
In case you've never made a
D4P with a TWIST quilt block, here are the instructions:
