Maybe its because I haven't sewn in a while, but I do And don't like them. Heres the pattern idea(free on internet/no longer there BOM), then my pic

:D

I think it is pretty neat! I like the scrappy look.

Scrappy is GREAT :D

I am in the midst of doing one right now Bev, all you need to be aware of is the colour value, dark, medium and light and just try and mix them up so they aren't touching each other, that way each section will be more defined andthe four patch will stand out in the centre more....hope I am helping...not hindering lol!!

THAT"S IT.. I couldn't quite put my finger on it, but see it now in the pattern. All the small squares are drk/med, and the long ones are lighter..... Aaaaaaaaahaaaaaa Ok I knew I'd get my help here. Thanks hun. Off to try a new one

You go girl it will be smasing for sure!!!.....:-)......

Bev what I have found regarding colour value is it is all relative, one colour may look dark next to one fabric, and medium next to another, just play around with them, its down to contrast too, heavy pattern versus plain..........sure is getting technical lol!! :lol:

Excellent advice from Izy--your fabrics are great Bev---going to be a wonderful scrappy quilt!!

Girlfriend don't confuse me anymore then I am :shock: :shock: :lol: :lol: Is this better?

Excellent! You've got it. :thumbup: That is going to be a pretty quilt.

I get hung up on values (colors) sometime too. :-)

your second attempt shows up lots better, more outstanding arranged that way. Way to go girl :thumbup:

Ok I'm excited........ Tee Hee........ ....NOW LEAVE ME ALONE......
Genius at work
:lol: :lol: :lol: :roll: :roll: :roll:

Your new one really defines the 4 square in the middle - Sounds like you're getting busy now!

That last block is FABULOUS, run with it!

From one who should have used SCRAPPY for her posting name? :wink:

Bev,
I just love your new arrangement, of the squares, to make this block. I think you are going to be really pleased with the outcome. Be sure to keep us posted, as you get going again!! :D :D :D :D
Lots of LUCK!!

Looks fine to me, I like scrappy

Have you come up for air yet Bev??? lol!! It's gonna be great :D :D :D

Can a person get in trouble for having too much fun? LOL

Thanks.. I thought about that too

THANKS..

Yup, Actually I had no choice. :( :( :( Ken called from work to go get him. Dang, Can't that man walk home???? :lol: :lol: Oh well, I can't complain, he brought me home some corn beef & cabbage,red potatoes, carrots. YUMMY..... It was the special today down at the Restraunt where he works/cooks

Yes ma'am :lol: We will let the genius work. :wink: :thumbup:

LOL I'm being silly..... Ya know a person could get arrested for having so much fun. I might have to go to quilt prison. :lol: :lol: :lol:

If you go to quilt prison I want to go to. :lol: Just time of all of the time we would have to make quilts. :lol:

I think scrappy is as scrappy does. :lol: It's like crumb blocks.... OR you can work with the lights, med, darks...for a more controlled effect either way--it'll be cool. :wink:

Looks good to me!

Looking good Bev. And thanks to you I learned something.

Bev, I love your scrappy!!! Great advice from Izy too (as always - she's one clever lady!)

When i sorted my scraps recently for Joey's string quilt, I couldn't decide whether some were dark, medium or light - never thought of what the adjacent fabric would do to them; thanks Izy!

Hey Bev - you crack me up.:lol: :lol:
Mustn't disturb you now you are on a roll.

Great job!
