Show Off Friday

Here are some pictures showing the process of making the Disappearing 16 Patch block.

I first saw this technique on Melissa's blog, Happy Quilting. 

After making your 16 Patch quilt block you will cut the block cross-wise like this.

(This is a 6.5 inch block)

Now you have a stack of triangles  I had 4 blocks so I ended up with 16 triangles.

Put two triangles together, mixing up the fabric combinations

so that none of the same fabrics meet in the middle.  You will

end up with 2 blocks for every 16 Patch quilt block that you make.

Sew them together to make a Disappearing 16 Patch quilt block : )

I ended up with 8 blocks. 

(These are 4.5 inch blocks)

I plan to make a mini quilt with these cuties.

Now it is your turn to link up something~~~~ what do you have for
