I have made small quilts with four-patches:
And big quilts with four-patches:

A few years ago I started assembling some of the many four--patches made as Leader/Enders--they didn't make my heart go pitty-pat then or now:
I like this one best but don't love it enough to dedicate years to it:
Just some of the many four-patches made and waiting for inspiration:

Maybe something with a 16 patch?
ReplyDeleteYou have a good plan. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI have a quilt that my mom made for me designed by MaBeth Oxenreider. It is a triple 4-patch, but the 4 patches are very small. I love it. It was in American Patchwork and Quilting many years ago and they have the pattern now on their website. I have linked it here.

It may not be what you want to make, but it may spawn an idea. :)
