After all that cutting you are probably itching to get stitching. I know I am!
First we’ll make 4-patches.
To create each 4-patch you need two colored pieces and two background pieces.
Stitch each colored square to a background square. Pause a moment and press the seam allowances towards the colored piece. It really does make a difference.
Next stitch the pairs together, putting the colored pieces on opposite ends and nesting the seams.
The next step of pressing has many options. I prefer to press this seam open. It gives the benefit of reduced bulk without the fussiness of pinwheeling the seams. If you haven’t tried this technique, you might want to on this quilt and see how it works for you.
Repeat over and over, watching your finished pile rise higher and higher until you have 140 4-patch blocks. YAY YOU!
We will be back next week to stitch together those rectangles.
Be sure to visit KatyQuilts and see her version using larger pieces. Enjoy!

And we’re off! I just need some energy. =)
Just like the shampoo bottle – rinse and repeat, over and over again. I am itching to stitch! ~smile~ Roseanne
