Double Dip : Double Four-patch Quilt



Classic Quilts

I've always been drawn to classic quilt patterns, particularly two color quilts. A few months back I saw a beautiful double four-patch quilt on my friend Stephanie's Instagram feed (@stuphfromsteph) and I knew immediately that I wanted to recreate it in green and white. So I got out a pencil and some paper and, with only few mistakes, I figured out the cutting and piecing for the quilt.





I started cutting and sewing fabric, and 240 four-patches later, I was on a roll! One of the obvious benefits of making a two color quilt is that they come together quite quickly, since most of the sewing involves chain piecing. That's my kind of sewing!







It's amazing how quickly four-patches turn into double four-patches, which then turn into 12" blocks. The next thing you know the blocks have turned into quilt top. It's quilt magic, I tell you, and I'm here for it!




It only makes sense that I would send this quilt to Stephanie for the quilting, since it was from her that I first got the idea for this quilt. She quilted it up using the Ginger Snap design and I'm totally in love with how it turned out. I bound the quilt using the same green fabric, trying to keep that classic quilt feel.



Quilt Along

I was touched by all of the positive feedback on my Instagram account as I worked on this double four-patch quilt, and with a little pressure I decided to write up the pattern and do a quilt along for those who would like to join. The pattern is free and the schedule is loose, but here's what I have in mind...

Quilt Along Schedule (April 2021)

April 1 - Cut fabrics
April 5 - Make four-patch blocks
April 12 - Make double four-patch blocks
April 19 - Make 12" blocks
April 26 - Assemble quilt top

I hope that you will join me as I make this quilt again in another color...yet to be determined. I'll be sharing tips and tricks on my Instagram account (@kairleoaks), which I'll save to my highlights. You can get the free Double Dip pattern by clicking on the link below.

    Love the idea of the quilt with its single color. I do seem to have trouble connecting to the pattern with the link. Looking forward to sewing along with you.

      I hope you've been able to get the link to work. It may not work from your phone, but should work from a computer.

    Hi. I really wanted to order this quilt kit with the same backing fabric you used when you talked about it on Instagram but I haven’t heard anything back so I must be doing something wrong. My email is cavecreek852@hotmail.com
    Hope you can help me.
    Thanks!

      Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. I'm not selling kits, so you will need to get back in contact with the seller from whom you ordered.

    Each performs only a given task. You cannot think to do something else from same machine. Whenever we talk about the industrial sewing machines then our mind is invariably drawn to the elna sewing machines.Emily

    Your blog is very informative and useful. Most travelers don't know how much Indian visa fees are, so must check about it.
