Disappearing 4 patch measurements.

I just finished a DP4 quilt a few weeks ago and I cut 1.5 from the center line. But as mentioned before, it really doesn't matter as much only consistency. Have fun and enjoy the "magical" results. You can always make a test block from scraps and see if you like 1", 1.5 or what ever.

Here is an image of a D4P made with layer cakes https://www.favequilts.com/Bed-Size-...th-Layer-Cakes It looks like the link is no longer active, but I was able to find it on Wayback. https://web.archive.org/web/20190328...h-layer-cakes/ Unfortunately, the pictures did not show up for me. It looks like the cuts were made 2 inches from center. I see that several images were saved to pinterest.

Donna Jordan has a free pattern and video called "Twist and Shout" that uses three different D4P blocks. You can see the differences easily and decide which one you prefer.
