Connie Tabor did a demonstration on a

Disappearing 4 Patch

Connie started with 6" squares, two colors that

have a high degree of contrast.  Sew together in

a block. This makes a 10 1/2 inch unfinished block.

Then she measured 1 1/2 inches from the seams on

each side and cut them.  You will have 9 pieces. 

Now you switch the solid squares on the

outside corners and rotate the center 1/4 turn.

And sew together

This is a Scrappy disappearing 4 patch.
You can Google Disappearing 4 patch
and Disapprearing 9 patch for video and written
instructions.

SHOW & TELL
Elaine McNair has three Great Grandchildren

due in the next couple of months. So she

let them pick out the fabric for a baby

quilt, skirt and bumper pads.

So after she finished what they

picked out, she made quilts

for each of them that she picked out

the fabrics. She still has one to go.

Sorry Elaine, I didn't notice I

didn't get this one turned.

I guess you needed to lay down.

I vote Elaine Grandma of the Year!

These are Eunice Fowler's show and tell.

In Iowa it is popular to have Barn Quilts. She

really wanted a barn quilt, but there was a problem.

She doesn't have a barn.  She said these Barn Quilts are

2 sheets of 4' x 8' plywood painted like a quilt block.

She decided to make hers 4' x 4'.  She made four so she

could change with the seasons.

 This what it looks like on her garage.

Her garge face the highway.

BEAUTIFUL!
