Finish It Up Friday ~ Four Patch Strippy

I started making these four patches as leader/enders before leaving AZ last spring. I made a few more in August when I was there, and finally finished on my most recent trip.

I love the result! Except for that slightly creepy cat face shown below. It was NOT fussy cut! It was a scrap from a repro cheater print.

I quilted freehand feathers in the light strips, but it hardly shows. The backing is a sheet from Magnolia. It was wonderful to work with.

Willy, the quilt inspector, approves.

The photo below has an unfortunate shadow. The four patches finish at four inches and the quilt finished at 60 by 72 inches.

I love a good stripy quilt and a good scrappy quilt, so this ticks all the boxes for me.

Have a great day!

    I like the quiet, coziness, and neutrality of this quilt’s colors. Inspiration! I think this will work well for some young men quilts needed for 2024 graduation.

    I am always on the lookout for scrappy squares type quilts and I love strippy quilts. As you said, this one ticks all the boxes. No problem for me with the kitty face. It’s a happy accident!

    I love it too! What can be better than scrappy. It’s good to know about the Magnolia sheet being easy to work with. I may give it a try.
