Here's the current rabbit trail I've been traveling down. I don't know if there's an official name for this block, but obviously it should be called Four Patch in a Square:)
I originally made the nine blocks you see in the upper left corner of the collage above. I loved them so much I knew I'd have to make a whole quilt, even though they're small. Each block measure 4 3/4", so when it's sewn into the quilt, each block will only be 4 1/4". This means a lot of blocks needed to make a quilt!
That's why I stopped at a baby size, thinking that would do... but now I've decided to go larger. The blocks may be small, but I think it will be worth it because these blocks are just. so. cute.
And they're not hard to make! Very simple actually. I've included a basic tutorial below, with instructions to make one block. I usually make these blocks in batches of a dozen. So keep that in mind when following this tutorial.
After sewing the four patch together, pinch the triangles in half to make a center mark. This crease should line up with the center of the four patch when sewing it on.
Also remember that the diagonal of these triangles is a bias cut, so handle them gently as they can stretch a bit.
I pressed all my seams open on this block, but you can press them your preferred way. Also, if you're a perfectionist and those little tails on the finished block bother you, by all means trim them off!
These are such sweet and fun little blocks to make!
Very cute!
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt so much, that I will try to make this blocks soon.
ReplyDeleteI've got a bunch of little 4-Patch blocks. This looks like a really good method for dealing with them!
ReplyDeleteI'm doing this same thing. but with a 16-patch.
