Cut and Assemble Double Four-Patch Blocks

All blocks to be trimmed to 6.5" (unfinished size)

From assorted prints, for one block cut:

• 2 - 3-1/2" squares
• 8 - 2" squares = (2) four-patches
  

1. Join four 2" squares in pairs (Diagram 2). Press seams in opposite directions. Sew together pairs to make a Four-Patch unit. Press seam in one direction. The unit should be 3-1/2" square including seam allowances. Repeat to make a second Four-Patch unit.

 

2. Sew together two 3-1/2" squares and two Four-Patch units in pairs (Diagram 3). Press seams toward 3-1/2" squares. Join pairs to make a Double Four-Patch block. Press seam in one direction. The block should be 6-1/2" square including seam allowances.

 

3. Repeat cutting instructions and steps 1 and 2 to make 38 Double Four-Patch blocks total.

• (76) 2 1/2" four patches
• (76) 3.5" squares
