Four Patch Blocks #9

I am going to try designing with these two simple units.

What if I combine the two units to make this four patch block?

Four Patch Block #8

Kamloops

This quilt design uses a four patch block that I named after Kamloops, British Columbia.

Four Patch Block #7

Golden

I designed this quilt using the four patch block that I designed and named for the town of Golden in British Coloumbia.

Here's how it happened.

Four Patch Block #6

Prince George

Once again I've designed a quilt using a four patch block.

This is the block, Prince George, that I designed for this quilt.

Four Patch Block #5

Chetwynd

Often when I design a quilt, the blocks form secondary patterns and are no longer obvious. This is not the case this time.

This is the Chetwynd block. Not only is it not disguised by secondary patterns in the quilt design, but it is easy to see how it can be made from 4 patches.

Four Patch Block #4

Fort St John

Blocks in rows and columns can sometimes be monotonous. So once in a while I like to design a quilt with offset blocks.

The four patch block I designed for this quilt is named after Fort St John. It's in northern BC, not far from the Alberta border.

Four Patch Block #3

Kimberley

The last two days I showed you quilt designs based on four patch blocks that I'd designed. I am going to do that again today.

Today's block is called Kimberley.

Four Patch Block #2

Cranbrook

This quilt design is the result of simply repeating a four patch block that I designed. I call the block Cranbrook.

Four Patch Block #1

Fernie

This quilt design is from a four patch block I designed. I've named it Fernie.

Blocks

Unnamed Block from 4-Patch Units

Using 2 colors, there are 6 possible 4-Patch unit combinations.

What if I use nine 4-Patch units to make a block?

I've made the block symetrical about a diagonal axis.
