The first project of 2025 is Four Patch Around the World. Four Patch Around the World is listed as #13 on my extensive list of 2025 projects.
Of course I changed the pattern and made it larger and symmetrical. Around the World measures 96" square right now and has been delivered to Calico Point for quilting.
You can see the trips in the center of the quilt. It was cold outside and this was a hurry up picture. I'll take a better picture when he returns home, probably in March.
I also used fabrics left from Tula Hexies for more variety. The print fabrics are from a Free Spirit jelly roll I purchased the last time I visited Deanna in Utah. Jelly rolls are nice but you have two fabric strips each exactly same then repeated in several color ways. The Tula fabrics blended well and added more variety.
Four Patch Around the World is the pattern I purchased when I visited MSQC in November. The two white jelly rolls were entirely used. I needed to cut more strips from the bolt of white Kona I keep on hand.

Well you sure didn't waste any time whipping up another beauty, Gretchen! And bright, beautiful fabrics to work with!
Wow that went together quickly! I'm fascinated with the pattern and might have to purchase it just to figure it out - lol!
I love that top! And you completed it so quickly! Well done you!
Oh my goodness, this looks fun!! I might have to slip this into my to-do's for the year! (Esp since my current scrap-jelly strip project--a rug--s bust!)
Lovely. And I'm interested that you referred to this quilt as "he".
It's beautiful! 2.5" squares are right up my alley. I can't wait to see how the quilter quilts it. I bet there's going to be some curves of some sort.
I noticed that too, Jenny.
