And why would anyone make a four patch if they could have an hourglass block instead? As a reminder, one can lay two four patches on top of each other (dark to light and vice versa), sew a quarter inch seam around the periphery, then cut the diagonals. Press and clean away the dog ears and weird bits. In theory, these hourglass blocks are 4 inches square.
As I made the four patches, I had extra slices. If I sewed these together as before, the colors got scrambled. Let's call these fractured shards.

Buddy might not be as exciting a commentator as Tim Gunn, but he’s sure cuter. I am really liking those fractured shards.
I just love your little commentator there!
Love the kitty!! Keep in mind that your method of doing hour glass units will leave all bias edges around the outside.
I like the fractured shards, but it sure is hard to say...
