You can put them on point and put plain blocks in between, If I was at home, I could add a pic of one that I made, but I'm at work right now.

Try Bonnie Hunter's website, Quiltville.com. Several of her scrappy patterns use 4 patches as a base

How about you just sew them all up like a postage stamp type quilt?

They combine well with other simple blocks to make Arkansas Crossroads or Texas Two Step, such as: http://lynnroddybrown.com/Site/Scrap...ion_Quilt.html If you look around that site, there are other quilts in which Lynn Roddy Brown uses 4-patches. She spoke at one of our guild meetings last year and is a scrapper's delight.

I like a random scrappy. Suggestions above sound great. You might really be surprised and a lot of the work is already done LOL.

With plain color blocks between these or plain color sashing, this would make a darling "I Spy" quilt.

I love the visual effect of four patches and neutral fabric

Im Honored !!!!

Yea that one is one of my favorite quilt tops... I used 'red' to highlight the corners... I seem to use red a lot as a pop color.... No pattern just made it up as I went along.. .. Careful handling the bias edges, they can get mis-shapened easily..
