It got me over a hurdle of worrying over which colors "go well" together. I think your double fours turned out beautifully.

At first glance, that first quilt looked a bit like a wall divider. I had to look again and read to see that it was an actual quilt. Looks real nice.

I especially love how the Double 4 patch has turned out. I was making those out of scraps awhile back, and the scrap vomit look of them all together discouraged me so much that they are still sitting in a pile. Maybe I need to get them back out again!

I have on a second hoodie, LOL, I am so not a winter weather person, that is the exact colour of that water, ahhh. Incredible. As is your scrap quilt with the 4-patches! I must remember that technique; heaven knows I do have some fugly patches of fabric amassed... How you put the first quilt all together with all the various parts and it looks SO together, I do not know.

It sounds like you are enjoying the trip. I love the cat blocks from your last post, and all your RSC blocks. Your double 4-patch is a great scrap quilt. I know what you mean about wincing at color combos as they go together, but the totally random approach really gives a classic scrap look in the end. And I think I am renaming my orphan blocks bin the orphanage!canuckquilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02804830507722535614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6996371959062263667.post-4801609282296089242018-04-17T09:35:11.901-04:002018-04-17T09:35:11.901-04:00Louise, I've that d4p.
