Make a Beautiful Quilt from a Simple Block

The Perfect Project for a Quick Finish in Colors You Love!
The Disappearing Four Patch block is a favorite with today’s quilters. It’s simple to make and adds an interesting complexity to a quilt’s overall design. Plus, it’s beautiful in many color combinations and fabric styles.
Amanda, at Material Girl Quilts, provides a tutorial for this easy block. She used 5″ charm squares for the baby quilt pictured here. To replicate the quilt, simply combine 16 blocks and add a thin border to frame them.
You can make the block with larger starting squares if you want, especially for a bigger quilt. Choose a beautiful combination of colors against a white background. Or, choose a background color, light or dark, that complements the others in the quilt and allows them to stand out.
