One block wonders
#22
I think this would be a good project for those lines where I have to buy all the colorways <g> ...
I love lots of colors, but I can see from your explanation of how you created the 4PP quilt that I could make a more impact if I would use this pattern when getting all excited about certain fabrics.
Did we ask you, Scissor Queen - - how many yards of fabric per quilt top? say for a lap robe (60x72)?
And, do you find that you have fewer scraps by cutting the squares versus the hexagons?

Hi Omak - the hexs waste a lot less fabric than you'd think - here's a pic showing the wastage from one I made - the little pile at the top and a few triangular scraps from the selvedge is all the waste their was. :D

If you wanted a bigger quilt just buy 8 repeats of the design and then jog the second set off a bit from where you cut the first set. I did that with the second half of my fabric so the blocks are all different
I haven't ever made one of the hexagon or octogon ones. I like the four patch one so much I doubt if I ever will.

Thanks K3n .. that looks like a reasonable amount of waste ... I am running out of excuses <g>
And, SQ ... That is a good tip about moving your cut over a bit on each strip set ... how clever <g>
