You Can Make
Quarter-Of-Four Block Quilts
Starting With Storm At Sea Blocks
Storm at Sea is a traditional block that is designed on a 4x4 grid.
It is usually assembled from 9 units, so you might consider it to be a Nine Patch block.
However, it can be assembled from 4 identical units, which would make it a Four Patch block.
If you make the 4 units and play with them you find that you can use them to make blocks other than a Storm at Sea block.
I call such blocks Quarter-of-Four blocks.
I played with some Storm at Sea Quarter-of-Four blocks and thought you might like to see the sort of quilt designs that can be made using them.
I don't pretend that I've done more than scatch the surface of what is possible. You might want to play with Storm at Sea Quarter-of-Four blocks and see what else can be done with them.
