4 patch posey versus OBW
#1
Is the process the same as far as the repeats and you just cut squares instead of hexs?
I've seen some really cute 4 patch posey quilts and think I'd like to try that before I do an OBW.

4 Patch Posies is easier and takes less fabric than OBW or Stack & Whack. It is a good one to start on and gives you amazing square designs. You need a fabric that has four repeats in it and depending on how far apart they are, it will determine how many and how large your finished squares will be. One of the nice features of the squares is that you have 4 possible ways(4 different corners) to put a block together.

Could you please show us the original fabric as well? Thanks!
