Four Square


	Materials: 3/4 yard yellow fabric (or use many yellows for a scrappy look) 3/4 yard light yellow/blue print 1.25 yard blue fabric ½ yard fabric for binding batting fabric for backing thread for piecing thread for quilting (if desired) floss or crochet thread for tying (if desired)
	Tools: Rotary cutter, mat, and 6x24” ruler Sewing machine and basic sewing supplies
	Cutting: Cut six strips 3.5” wide from selvage to selvage from yellow and the yellow/blue print. These will be used in the four-patch blocks. Cut six 6.5” wide strips from selvage to selvage from the blue fabric. Cut thirty-two 6.5” squares from the strips. Cut five 2.5” wide strips from the binding fabric.
	Sewing: Sew each of the six yellow strips to a yellow/blue strip. Iron the seam to one side. Cut each strip across to create 3.5” units (each unit will have one yellow square and one yellow/blue square). Sew the units in pairs to make the four patches. You will need 31 of the four patches, which should now measure as 6.5” squares. Alternating the four patch units with the blue squares, create rows according to the quilt layout. Layer backing, batting, and pieced top. Baste with thread or safety pins if quilting. Or if you’re tying the quilt simply tie the quilt. Trim edges. Make binding and apply it to the quilt.
