Great idea - might have to borrow one day! :wink: :D

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> |

I will get right on it, as SOON as I complete that other challenge I got involved with yesterday ... that stack and slash nightmare! :lol:

Thank you all for the tips, links, suggestions for making 4PP and OBW :D :D :D I just may be getting my mind wrapped around the concept now 8) 8) 8)
