DOUBLE DOUBLE
Inspired by Amy at " A Quilting Sheep", I began making 4-patches with my 1 1/2 in squares, then matching those 2 1/2 inch 4-patches with 2 1/2 inch squares to make double 4-patches. I took it one step further and added 4 1/2 inch squares to make "double-double 4 patches".
These are 8.5 inches (8 " finished).
From there I decided how big I wanted this to be..... 64 x 72 it will be!
Ok so that meant I needed 288 of the small four patches,
....288 2.5" squares and
....144 4.5 " squares.
Exactly what I wanted, an easy scrap project with no triangles and no specific background colour.
I did find it easier to attach row by row rather the constructing each 8.5 inch double-double 4patch separately.
I love to hand quilt and decided to use a clamshell design for the first time. I made a template from a cereal box for this step.
While handquilting I did notice one little square had a tear in it :(
Raw edge applique heart to the rescue!!
