Hello! This is a mini tutorial for speedy four-patches. This method can be used for any sized squares. For this mini tutorial, I have used charm squares.
STARTING SQUARE | PRE-CUT | 4-PATCH SIZE | YIELD PER PKG |
2½" | Moda Candy | 1½" | (21) 4-patches |
5" | Charm Pack | 4½" | (21) 4-patches |
10" | Layer Cake® | 9½" | (21) 4-patches |
2 Moda Candy, Charm Pack, or Layer Cake® squares
*ingredients listed make 2 four-patch blocks
Place the fabric squares right sides together. Sew a ¼" seam along two opposite sides.
Cut in half (at 1¼" for Moda candy squares, 2½" for charm squares, 5" for Layer Cake® squares)
Press to the dark side.
Cut in half again on the opposite direction.
Pin sets together and sew. Press.
Square up 4-patches to unfinished sizes listed.
Moda Candy yields 1½" unfinished 4-patches
Charm Pack yields 4½" unfinished 4-patches
Layer Cake® yields 9½" unfinished 4-patches
Happy sewing!
