I dug through my 2 1/2" bin and have started to sew. Almost all of the neutral squares were squares already cut. So far I've used 6 squares of fabric I have purchased...rest from others leftovers..

That's gratifying, isn't it, Oksewglad? Feels good to cut some of this stuff up and put it to use. I need to plan to do more scrappy's. Amazing to know that we have whole quilts hiding in the containers if we take the time...

Wow great 4 patches everyone! I was able to make quick work ofthis while the game was on all my squares came from my 2.5" square bin so no cutting just grab and matched them up. I thought for sure I would run out of neutrals and need to cut some but found enough. My bin is still full made a small dent.

Lovely squares and 4 patches, everyone.
I cut some more colored squares since I wanted more variety and I also needed a lot more neutral squares. I was happy to use up some smaller pieces of tone-on-tone for the neutral and my die cutter made cutting those squares a breeze.

It's really fun to look at all these four patches and see such fun and beautiful fabrics and wonder what people used them for in the first place. I have fabric picked out, it's kind of a controlled scrappy because they were a layer cake that didn't get much used.

Welcome Zozee, I always have lots of water. I haven't started my blocks yet either. It shouldn't take us long to do them this week. Think I am going to make a small table topper,so it won't take many either. Judy will this pattern work for a topper or runner? I have 3 quilts going as it is already. Nothing like thinking Big....LoL Thanks for the nice comments ladies.
