Uncorked, Day Four

Today is July 2 and the fourth day of featuring Uncorked.Yes, I have another block from my calendar. It's the Four Bars Block. It's 8" x 8" like the block from yesterday.

Four Bars: 8"

I made it using Uncorked and I'm running out of the light yellow for the background! Yikes! And I can't find a suitable substitute in my stash.

Four Bars: 8"

I think it would be a fun scrap block with 4 different colors and prints in the center. Then changing up the outer squares and rectangles. And then tilting the blocks 90 degrees in relation to each other as you place them block to block!

Here's one more quilt made several years ago using the Uncorked fabrics, plus some Kaffe Fassett, some Benartex prints and probably some other vendor. These are my Metropolitan Home Star paper pieced blocks. If you do a search here on this blog, you will find quite a few variations of this.

Metropolitan Home Star quilt center: 56" x 56"

This is the vintage inspiration. I tore this page from the Metropolitan Home Magazine about 30 years ago. Fun, huh?

My quilt is quietly waiting in the closet to be quilted. But, at least it's cool in there.
