4 inch squares --- Help!
A friend gave my hundreds of 4 inch squares in Red, Black and Grey batiks. I am looking for a good pattern to use them with. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Christina

I made this one years ago for my Sister in law. It is 9 squares sewing together, the cut into 4 large squares. Then arranged by turning the squares around. I don't remember the pattern name.
Here is a link to dozens of patterns for charm squares.

These make excellent "10-Minute blocks". 4" squares can also be organized into 4-patches or 9-patches, then sashed. They can become HSTs and turned into any number of great combinations. I love working with 4 and 5 inch blocks. They are so versatile. Have fun!

They used 5 inch squares but 4 would work just fine.

So many choices for hundreds (WOW!!) of batiks.
How about a batik diamonds pattern? Google 'Batik Diamonds Quilt patterns'. Amazing pics and ideas come up. There is even a Youtube tutorial on squaring them up. There is a batik diamond pattern by Barb Sackel that is one of my favorite batik quilts to do. Very easy to duplicate without the pattern.

So glad I was snooping around today. I just bought a bolt, yes a bolt, of Kona Cotton Black for my stash and this will be a great idea when the DH bauks at it, that I will be using up my scraps with it doing this pattern. What a wonderful idea.
Congrats on the gift of squares. Hope you do find something that will be neat. If you do this pattern, I would lay them out so you get that secondary pattern with the colors flowing thru the quilt such as the Trip Around the World suggestion.[
