I have made a few 4-patch posies quilts. Yours is wonderful!! I am inspired to pull out some fabric and make another lap quilt.
Thanks!

Please tell me how a stack and whack works. I am such a newbie it's pitiful :-). I seem to have more questions than advice to this forum. I do appreciate everyones kindness and patience with my question. There will be so many more.

Your squares look great! Gonna be a pretty quilt.

SJoy ... you've summed up my first week here as a Newbie. I'm totally hooked ... on this Board and on 4PPS and OBW, and my brain has overfloweth with all the ideas, stimulation and inspiration. Not that I was lacking on the ideas part before ... but the stimulation and inspiration is more than dangerous for me!!! I DO have other things I MUST do!!! :)



All ... I just HAD to get at it! And couldn't wait to try it out and took the first piece I found in my stash that I thought may work. It didn't even have the full 4 repeats, about 3-1/2, only about a metre. I've kept about ten inches along the selvedge left, as I wanted to be sure to have some to show the original fabric. Maybe setting squares? Borders? Not sure!

The pattern wasn't overly big, so I figured I'd better keep the square size down to 2-1/2", or I wouldn't get the kaleidoscope effects.

I just stuck them up on my design wall as I went, and that's what you see. I'm not sure on the sashing yet ... my eyes were too bleary by the time I got to that point! I'm not a big fan of black and I have been thinking about purple (that'd be blackish, right?) or a green? or ??

Please post thoughts and suggestions!!

Dunster ... I'm not a big black fan because of my vision problems, and would you believe the last two quilts I've done have had black?? So I'm kind of tired of struggling with it and would like to get away from it now.

I've been wondering about purple and/or green? Thoughts?

Ha! ... I didn't waste time on the auditionning ... If it had four repeats, it was a GO!!! And I was willing to risk the results. To be safe, I only cut off six inches the length of it first ... and if I didn't like the results, then I would have had the rest of the fabric left to return back to the stash!

I think green would be great, would be like a garden. Purple would be lovely too. Even white might look like a trellis in front of a garden. Putting them on point would be pretty if you want the trellis effect.

That is such pretty fabric. Will be eager to see the finished piece.

Love it!! Have this pattern to try...thank you for sharing yours

I agree with Dunster and do white sashing on point for a trellis effect.
