Four-Patch Dash

Clayton and Brittany Cook had just tied the knot. They were posing for some wedding photos on a bridge over a lake in Victoria Park in Kitchener, Canada. Clayton noticed something amiss in the water below. A small boy who had been playing with friends at the water’s edge had fallen in and was drowning. Without a thought for his dress shoes, his suit and tie or his yellow boutonniere, Clay ran down the bridge and jumped into the lake. He scooped up the little boy and pulled him to safety. His new bride wasn’t the least bit surprised. “That’s Clay,” she said. “It’s just the sort of thing he would instinctively do.” Then she added, “How different would everyone's day have been if we weren't in the right place at the right time?”

  1. How are you going to set these blocks together? With sashing? I'm trying to envision how multiples of this block would look without sashing. If the blocks were all different (scrappy), then it would probably be cute without sashing.

  2. This is a 6" block made with scraps leftover from Kim Diehl's Simple Whatnots quilts. The pattern is from Moda Blockheads. It will probably end up in a scrappy sampler quilt, most likely one with sashing and cornerstones.
