4-Patch Quilt + a $2 Tutorial from A Little Bit Biased

Hi there! Today, I am sharing a very simple,

very traditional 4-patch quilt. If you've been looking for a

zero-stress project to stitch up, this one is for you.

and I think I needed some mindless sewing to help me relax in those stolen moments

Making Progress from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

I did have a finish to share with you today but it was pushed out to a later date. I worked with the Fat Quarter Shop and made another shortcut quilt. So today you will just have to read about the progress I made on my recent scrap quilt.

I have been pulling a bunch of my brown scraps and cutting them into 4.5" squares. I also completed a bunch of 4.5" hourglass blocks in black and cream. My inspiration piece had the hourglass blocks laid out like above.

I think I am going to spread them out ...
