2 techniques to make disappearing 4-patch quilt blocks - video tutorial

These are different ways to slice a block that produce quite different block layouts. The technique can be applied to a number of blocks but so far I've only tried with 4-patch and one of them with a 9-patch block.

I really enjoy the "disappearing" blocks you create. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

[@teresadownunder]

Thank you for watching

[@emmacarpenter4055]

Far Out!! Teresa, you always seem to add that little touch in your block slicing and arrangement that I have not seen before. Beautiful. You are so very creative. Thank you for all you do.

[@teresadownunder]

My pleasure 😇

[@CJ-ph6zk]

I love your fabric selections. Selections perfectly match quilt design.

[@teresadownunder]

Thank your

Always check first with my favorite quilt idea advisor. Best videos,fast clean and to the point. I have 26 fat quarters with Sunflowers,ladybugs and more flowers and plain prints. The later idea might serve well as next queen quilt. I have tried this one before in a table topper and its cute. I order your book, but still love ideas off your UA-cam or sew blog. Thanks again for helping so many people,spread the word folks.

[@teresadownunder]

Thank you so much for your kind words 🙏🙏

[@pegasusquilts]

This is the best explanation of this I have ever seen. In the first one, I love that you show trimming off the excess. In the second one, I love that you show keeping track of the pieces and where they go in the block. And all without any words. And pins! We do use pins! Why pretend, as many seem to, that we don't? So glad I found you.

[@teresadownunder]

Thank you. I love pins 😊

[@theresaconner185]

I really liked the first one! I don't think I've seen that particular way to rearrange the four patch before. I really like it! That's one I want to try. As always, love the layout options! Thanks.

[@teresadownunder]

Great 👍

[@pegasusquilts]

Bento box!?

[@theresaconner185]

Thanks pegususquilts! Until you said that I didn't recognize it!

[@teresadownunder]

You’re right. It could be a bento box though my bento boxes are a bit different mypatchwork.wordpress.com/2017/01/29/video-tutorial-bento-box-quilt-block-beginners-block/

[@kristiedentice8021]

I actually like the second one better. But yes, they are both really nice. Gonna have to try it soon.

[@lindajimmerson8542]

How do you think it would be completely scrappy? Lights and darks? Would it work?

[@teresadownunder]

As long as there’s enough contrast it’ll work out fine. I love scrappy quilts

[@gloriagutierrez7825]

After you cut them are your seems supposed to line up?

[@teresadownunder]

More or less. It’ll depend on how accurate your cutting is

[@gildacrespo4424]

Bellisimo

[@teresadownunder]

Gracias 😊

[@jeanperren6094]

Theresa, the ideas are great. I love all the variations but I can’t keep up with you. Is there a way to remember all your ideas? I am guessing I need to buy your book so I can study them at my own convenience.. Thank you.

[@teresadownunder]

Too many ideas not enough time 😂😂 My book has 6 different blocks and several quilt patterns per block with the slice and turn idea that generates different layouts.

[@marilenevieiraribeiro3012]

Love it any way I can download the pattern PDF form Seems only available overseas not in South Africa

[@teresadownunder]

Hi, thanks. I don’t have a list of distributors yet.

[@janets132003]

The second block I understood from watching other videos but not the first, seems wasteful, but, hey, I'm just starting. Maybe if there was a voice over instead of just music?

Sorry, but I stopped watching when you cut the strips crooked right at the beginning. I can do that myself, I don't need instruction for it.
