In between other projects, I've been working on making 2-1/2 inch 4 patch units for my American Patchwork and Quilting Quilt Along project called "Go Four It".
I made a lot of progress last week sewing up all the strips needed for the 4 patch units since we've had non stop snow and cold now for almost 2 weeks (with more expected today).
I decided on Wednesday this week that I was going to get to the counting and sorting part to figure out what I needed to start assembling this project.
I counted 4 patch units..........528 of the 1,000 needed! Not bad at all. 1,089 2-1/2 inch squares. 750 cut! Very good! Then I had a thought....I'd started the 2014 APQuilt Along last year using yellows, oranges, greens and blues also but switched directions after making 1 or 2 blocks....so I found the plastic bin that was holding those 4 patch units and added them to my bin....I'm up to 759 4 patch
units!!!!
Here's the pile of 4 patches waiting to be pressed
On the left is the 4 patches and the little bin on the right has the 2-1/2 inch squares
YES....I always have to make 1 block just to see how it looks......and I am thinking I LOVE it so, onward with making more
And here's a picture of my block on top of the APQ magazine with my "choice" of quilts.....
I think it's time to get to assembling some more blocks. I need 80 more of these units..... Off to the sewing machine for me
And if you didn't see enough cuteness with that block....
Olivia....the ultimate in cuteness!!!

Peg, I love your fabrics. I've been thinking of starting this one too. Maybe I just need to "take the leap." :-)
