This Versatile Disappearing Block can be used with any size of scrappy squares you have on hand. Choose strips of fabric to piece the diagonally sliced 4-patch block back together. Then orient each block within the rows so the strips of fabric connect to create this beautiful design.

Choose themes for your fabrics or simply make your blocks as scrappy as you dare! Below you will find the small red/white/blue wall hanging or lap quilt is the perfect accent to the country kitchen decor. It would also be beautiful in themed fabrics for a child’s room or even in much more Modern fabrics for a minimalist decor.

Each block requires a 4-patch of squares and a strip of fabric. I chose (2) 5” lighter squares and (2) 5” darker squares per 4-patch. I also chose a darker 1.5” strip of fabric from which to sew the diagonally sliced 4-patch blocks back together! I chose 5” squares and 1.5” strips because I simply had plenty of those size squares and strips on hand already. You could use 4”, 6” or even 8” squares to make your 4-patch squares if you choose. You could also choose a wider strip of fabric…maybe a 2” strip of fabric if you are using larger squares for your 4-patch. The sky is the limit with this pattern!
