As this past weekend was International Quilting Weekend, I decided to have some fun playing with pre-cuts. It started with watching a tutorial on The Quilt Show for "how to make quick 4 patches from charm squares." I made a lot of 4-patches. I also learned that sometimes those precuts aren't as accurate as cutting them myself. Oops! So everything I sewed wasn't perfect. But who cares? It was still fun.
I made this cute little quilt top that will probably be enlarged later.
I call it "Charming Little Four Patches" because every part of it started as a four patch made from charm squares. I decided to add the three disappearing four patch blocks in for variety and just because I could. I love the scrap happy look of it.
My giveaway for a one year Star Membership to The Quilt Show is still running. I think it ends at midnight tonight, if I set the time correctly. And I will post winners the following day. You can find that at the post Day Two International Quilting Weekend(Giveaways!)

I love your mantra " ...just because I could!" And always with color. ��
Love the disappearing four patches--one of my first quilts used that pattern in it and I loved the way it looked; just recently gave it to one of my Little Ones for her birthday.
Scrappy is the only way I know how to construct and I find yours ever so beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Gene, I love the cheery little blocks, and the just because I can is great! We all need that!!
Hugs, Marie
