6'' four patch block
Block as it appears in the quilt.
Cutting:
Background
fabric- cut two squares 3 ½’’ x 3 ½’’
Other
fabric- cut two squares 3 ½’’ x 3 ½’’
Additional Cutting: cut 3 ½’’ x 12 ½’’ filler strips
ONLY if not
already cut and set aside from step 1
This block
and filler strips are perfect for using up scraps from previous steps!
Options:
Use 2 or 4 half
square triangles in the four patch as shown in the diagram.
Repeat any
block from previous steps that you prefer.
Cut 6 ½’’
squares from focus fabric or background fabric if you prefer.
Make star
blocks, or add any block you like that finishes 6’’.
Looking Ahead:
This set of blocks will complete all of the units needed for this quilt. Now is a good time to 'catch up' on any blocks that might still be incomplete. Now is also a good time to start sorting blocks. Group one of each block (plus filler strip) into groups in preparation for assembling our panels next month. We are in the home stretch now!!!

ReplyDeletethank you!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for this - I love this quilt and have been diligently saving the files as I do want to make it - it will be a perfect way to use some of my scraps. I'm hoping that once I get a few other ufos finished I'll be able to make a start!
ReplyDeleteLove this quilt pattern. Unfortunately, it's going to have to go into my "I want to be a quilt some day" box. Some day. sigh!
