Instructions
Step 1:
Take the four squares and join them together like a four-patch. Once you are happy with the arrangement of the squares, sew them in rows with a quarter of an inch seam allowance. Once done, press them open. Next, sew the rows together with a quarter of an inch seam allowance, then press open.
Step 2:
Cut off 1 1/2″ inches. Line up your ruler with the center line, so the inch-and-a-quarter line is actually on your seam. Turn it around, place your ruler on the seam line again, and cut another. Repeat it two more times, turning and cutting.
Step 3:
Take the centerpiece from the top and move it to the center-right. Take the one on the center-right and put it to the bottom. Get the bottom and move it to the left, then move the center-left piece to the top. Sew them in rows first, then press them open. Once done, sew the rows together to make the four-patch block.
