How to Make a 4-Patch Quilt Block

How to Make a 4-Patch quilt block. 

simple quilt pattern block
I always tell new quilters learn to make a 4-patch and you can do anything in quilting. It all starts with a square.
 
Square
Cut 2 squares the same size (finished size of square plus 1/2 inch) example cut 2 ½ x 2 Good to good Fabric
¼ inch seam allowance, sew
Trim threads
Open and Press to the dark


How to Make a 4-Patch Quilt Block with The Quilt Ladies

 

1)sew seam with a 1/4 inch seam allowance,
you may need to mark your machine with this measurement.

2) You can chain piece a few at a time

Cut thread and open your two squares sewn together
