A different four-patch

This four-patch quilt was one of the Stash Pot Pies challenges.  I know the group name - Stash Pot Pie is a little unusual, but most patterns included a great recipe for pies.  This pattern included the recipe for Cranberry Chiffon Pie.
This quilt is called American Pie "a different four patch" - a geometric design was formed through color placement.

This quilt looks busy, but was pretty easy to construct


























Extra fabric? No problem - just make a matching pillowcase





















I started this quilt with an older Viking sewing machine and about three-quarters of the way through I purchased a new Husqvarna Sapphire computerized sewing machine. So of course, I finished the last blocks with my new machine.  To my disappointment the seam allowance was different, even though both machines used the same pressure feet.  The last quarter of the blocks I made were the wrong size and could not be assembled.  So I had to unsew the newly made blocks and resew them on my older Viking machine.  The blocks then went together perfectly.  A lesson learned to measure for accuracy from machine to machine.
