D4P Project

Just finished a little Christmas table topper for mom using the March block.
Combined the D4P block with a regular 4-patch.
Added a little embrodiery to reinforce the peppermint pattern on the back.
Made the self-binding a little wider than I usually would for a table topper,
to show a little of the peppermint motif on the front.
Blessings!  LPB

  1. I LOVE the way the block looks alternated with regular 9 patches and the embroidery really adds a charming touch.

    Thanks for sharing your table topper with us. I'll add the photo (and link) to the Gallery.

  2. Ooo, I like this one, too! I laid mine out last night (made extra for a charity quilt) and it seemed a little ho-hum. (I'm a print lover, I know it's all the white and monochromatic color). I like the idea of your mixed squares, thanks for the share.

  3. Very cool indeed! I love the look of the D4P alternated with a regular 4-patch. The different size squares really make it interesting. The embroidery is a great touch.

  5. You've got quite an eye for design. I never would have thought of the combination of those two blocks. It looks great. Kathie L in Allentown

  9. Benta, Benta ... you know I'm going to say it, especially for these easy blocks ... if you wish you had some, you can easily MAKE some more for yourself.

  11. I am very temper to give this a go in reds and blacks. I see LPB has used all the same two fabrics, can anyone visualise if it would look as good with lots of different fabrics?
