Lovely pictures!
I've heard that 4-patch posies are addicting... which is why I've been putting off doing one! (I might wind up starting 20 of them, just to see how the designs work out!)

I know you have to determine the repeat size, but then what? I've watched video after video and I am just afraid to get started! I don't want to mess up my material! Help!!

The final touch is a black cat appliqued here and there in front of the windows. I thought I had copied the pattern, but it must be saved in a wrong file or on another computer.

It is a free pattern and many of you love both flowers and cats, so there is another for your bucket list.
