INTRODUCING a 12″ x 12″ block designed for the 2015 Fabri-Quilt New Block Blog Hop. It’s called SUBJECT TO CHANGE because you can easily move the pieces or change the fabric selection to create a subtle difference in each block.
We received SIX FAT EIGHTHS from Fabri-Quilt, called the Watermelon Summer Bundle, one of each of the following colors:
Coral, Aqua, Turquoise, Chartreuse, Lapis and White
Because I was able to make FIVE (5) [12 1/2 by 12 1/2 unfinished] blocks out of the SIX FAT EIGHTHS, I gave each of the blocks a name, representing each of the hosts of the Blog Hop: Stephanie, Cheryl, Terri Ann and Yvonne:
Once they are assembled you get a cool modern quilt. I turned each block so that the “four patches” were together in the middle:
Let’s Get Started:
TIPS:
You can cut the fat eighths into three strips: (2) 3″ wide by the length of each fat eighth and one (1) strip 2 1/2″ wide by the length of the fat eighth.
That’s it. I took some photos of the assembly of the blocks and marked them with letters. You can see how easy it is to CHANGE.

The Terri Ann
The Cheryl
The Yvonne
With the scraps I made “fabric slabs” and cut the pieces according to the Cutting Instructions to create The Wanda:

Wow…. I am a kind of solid-analphabet but these blocks are looking great! I love how turning the four patches together gives at least a kind of strukture to these very scrappy blocks.

Awesome. Sort of has a scrappy improv look to it but more structure. I want to try this! Pinning to my board for later! Thanks so much!

Your block has a great improv feel while being totally structured. That’s my kind of improv. I always need a plan. :O)

I love that you named the blocks after the hosts! I’m not an improv fan, really, because I like to have control over what I’m making. Your block kind of combines the best of both worlds…the fun, crazy look of improv with the control of traditional piecing. Great work!
