I have a really "dumb" question (I know it's not DUMB because I'd bet I'm not the only one who wants to know."

What does "Blog this Post" mean? OK, now y'all stop laughing and send me a reply. Thanks!

I do 4-patches with two "darks" and others of two "lights" when I run short of squares of one fabric - I use up my stash and gives it a very scrappy look.

This is particularly helpful with theme "overruns" (I had Christmas fabric BREEDING behind closed cupboard doors until the door literally burst open ....) I made a lovely cream-reds-greens bed quilt using the Christmas Counterchange pattern in "Creative Scraps - Quilting with Bits & Pieces - 67 Beautiful Quilts to Enjoy" published by House of White Birches.

Eleanor Burns has a tutorial that makes 4 patches so easy! http://quiltinaday.com/theater/2800Series/2808.html
Her way is quick, easy, and makes perfect intersections every time!

I am fairly new to quilting. To start myself off with I bought a bunch of jelly rolls at Walmart at half price. There is so much you can do with those strips. I love this board, (old or new, although I am sorry to see so many have not come back since the format has changed) and love how all you quilters out there are always ready to jump in and help someone out. This kind of posting by janeknapp is awesome for new quilters, so helpful. I just want to say thanks for all the advise and encouragement shared here every day.

I've been a member since May of this year and "lurked" for about six months prior to that. I have learned SO MUCH and I have been sewing / quilting for over 40 years. Amazing how much information is on here. Anyway, I agree, this is a great site.

Pat Design.....how did you get your signature to show up? Everytime I post where my signature should be is just a link. When I click on the link all I get is a white page with my name on it.
