What I was thinking of was to sew together 9 stamps of the same color but different patterns to get the texture & color that I would need for the 4 patch...I have a problem with uncontrolled scrappy.....:D

Here are mine. The fabric is darker than the picture shows. Most of the greens are a forest green.The red one (second from the right top ) is really a burgundy not bright red. :confused:

Honchey, you could do a 9 patch or evn make it look like a 4 patch depending on how you line up the colors.
I personally think it's nuts, so much work, but I think it's really cool idea, you could play with the sqs to look like stars. o.k. calm down now!!
MARY, mine kinda look like yours, but darker reds. and brown and greens. I don't think any of mine have white in them. I did 2 sets also. will prob give one to redgarnet for the diabetes auction for kids. pray it comes out good.

I had a bunch of blue and green scraps from a scrap swap here awhile back, and had some brown and green Moda "Crossroads" scraps left from a quilt, so I combined them, and came up with this. Some of the blocks are made with crumbs, so hopefully they'll be okay. :)

I don't have much left in the way of light-colored scraps at the moment, other than crumbs, so it looks like I'll be doing some crumb-piecing on those, as well. All of my light scraps went towards a Christmas quilt that I have yet to finish. :p

Ok, got mine done! I saw fabric I forgot about in all that pile. lol, I do like my flowers though :)

I sewed a couple of the stamp patches ..I like the variegated ones best..... they need to be trimmed.

Honchey, I do like them. you could do up both way's and mix them around, I think the make a neat quilt.

Honchy and moonrise - no Quilt Police here, so you can do WHATEVER you want!

I'm running!!!! Will try to catch up! Two years ago I did the scrappy mystery and ended up making 23 for all the grandkids in my husband's family. (Yes, still quilting/binding those.....) I keep getting side tracked.... Cough...cough...mystery8.... I have ALOT of 1.5" and 2.5" charms. No 3.5"..... But bins and bins of scraps. We just moved, hubby thankfully hired movers, and when they asked where my buns went I straight faced told them, "Ten bins in each room so nobody knows how many I have." :D

Hi there
So this morning I've 'made' 4 large string blocks, and put together one 4-patch to test out the idea. Seems to work :thumbup:

This is the first time I've actually made string blocks, and I found it surprisingly satisfying making something from nothing!
