Fun with 4 Patches


I was having fun with the split 4 patch and can finally show the completed top. I love how it turned out bright and cheery.
This weekend I finished the binding on my Swoon quilt. I like doing binding but not when it's 380" to hand sew on a hot day. I'm so glad to have this quilt finished.
Here it is on my queen size bed. This quilt has a good amount of overhang on the bed. I haven't washed this quilt yet so I'm expecting a little bit of shrinkage still.
Most of the weekend was looking at this beautiful view. I love walking on the beach.

Happy Quilting!

So satisfying to take those final stitches on the binding. Your quilt is beautiful. The split four patch is another cheerful quilt.

They are all simply lovely - especially the 4 patch. I love the way the white solid offsets the bright colours.
Well done! :-)

Both quilts look great but I especially like the bright and cheery one! A simple block but so effective.

Karen said...

Both of your quilts look lovely and to have a finish is a good thing :). I agree - I love to sew binding down - not so much in the heat tho. Sounds like maybe your on a getaway - enjoy if you are.

Love the split 4 patch. They are so fun to make. Can you do a photo in brighter light and post? Hard to see how nice it really is.

That was a lot of binding for Swoon, but it was worth every stitch... it's beautiful! The split 4 patch is super cheery, and a cute pattern for those yummy fabrics? Beach? What's that? I'm envious... (Coming from someone living in land locked Iowa...)
