Red & White Disappearing 4-Patch for March

I almost thought this block was TOO easy to choose as a lotto block choice, but ... I think these technique blocks are fun and we all should have a few in our quilting repetoire in case we ever need to make a quilt really fast.

I've seen it called a couple things, but we'll call it Disappearing 4-Patch (or D4P) and make 8-1/2inch blocks (finished size is 8 inches when the blocks are sewn together into a top) in red and white.

You can find directions here:
Disappearing 4-Patch

We'll use the measurements she provides: begin with 5 inch squares and make your cuts 1 inch away from the 4-patch seams.

FABRICS

RED Fabric - may be solid, hand-dyed, batik or RED prints which are tone-on-tone (Red-on-red) or contain small amounts of black or white.  They should "read" as red.  If you make multiple blocks, you must use a unique red fabric for each one.

WHITE Fabric - may be solid or WOW (white-on-white).  You may use the same white fabric in all your blocks.
