I sewed all the blocks together into 4p and then sewed them all together.

Double or triple Irish Chain?

Years ago I was in a 4" club sponsored by a Quilt Shop.
I cut 2 opposite sides on a slant to make a tumbler. I hand pieced a twin quilt, but you could just as easily make one by machine

You could add a solid for 2 of the positions of the 4-patch and unify the look.

Just looked at a web "Flics-Flacs" ([url]http://www.monikapatchwork.estranky.cz/fotoalbum/3---obrazkove-navody/flic-flac/[url]) and born of a pattern of squares together . The image is formed by cutting. It is a very nice pattern!
I hope you find inspiration!
A hug for you!

It's in Czech - if you have the Google toolbar hit translate and it'll come up in English

Also, some of you asked about my picture with the kitty. I was fortunate enough to go into the enclosure with two cheetas and have pictures taken in South Africe this year.

I made these blocks using 4" squares.
