Memory Mon 44 ~Garage Sale Sign for Sale at the Garage Sale

G and I have many wonderful memories of great highway yard sales over the past years including:

 

Completing the 400 Mile Yard Sale (highway 68 through KY),

 Entire length over about 4 years of The Longest Yard Sale (highway 127 from Michigan to Alabama)

Highway 25 including 25E & 25W in Tennessee. (not lot bought, few posts.)

 

Thought it was odd last year to find a Garage Sale sign for sale. 

 

 I'm so thankful for some of the fantastic stuff I acquired, especially for sewing and quilting.

We are at the point we don't need to buy anything else,

but we still love the adventure of following a highway yard sale event.

Quilt Shot Block #86 ~ Disappearing Four Patch Variation 2

Disappearing 4 Patch: Variation 2

More experimentation with cutting up a 4 Patch.

Start with a 4 Patch made of 7 inch squares.

On one corner place the 60° line of the ruler along the edge

and 3 inches down from the corner.

No measurement needed for other side of corner.

Use the first corner cut off as a template to double check next corner cuts.

Cut off all corners.

Sew corners back on as shown.

Trim to 12½ inch square.

***********************

Using Photoshop Combine Tool, here's a look at possible quilt layouts using this block.

Same block repeated without rotation.

 

 Fun experimenting with rotations to check the star patterns created.
