Double Four Patch Finish

It's a finish!

Double Four Patch

48 x 60

This is a "pieces and parts" quilt. Last year I received a bag with some completed 4 inch finished blocks, some completed 2.5 inch four patches, 2.5 inch squares in each of the three colors and a baggie of 1.5 inch squares plus some extra fabric in each of the three colors. There were also enough 2.5 inch width strips of yellow to use for binding. 

I constructed more blocks.

I had fun looking at all the little things that can end up in a 1 inch square.

I quilted it on my sewing machine on the diagonals through the little four patches.

The back.

And sew on...

Finished a book of the magical realism genre - The Mysterious Bakery on Rue de Paris by Evie Woods. It was very light reading for a time I felt like I needed some magical realism. 

“It’s all a matter of paying attention, being awake in the present moment, and not expecting a huge payoff. The magic in this world seems to work in whispers and small kindnesses.” – Charles de Lint

“I don’t believe in the kind of magic in my books. But I do believe something very magical can happen when you read a good book.” – J.K. Rowling
