Quilt Blocks - Thrifty Quilt Block

Learn how to cut and piece basic quilt blocks

From light background fabric, cut: eight 2 ½” squares

From medium fabric, cut: four 4 ½” squares

From dark fabric, cut: one 4 ½” square and eight 2 ½” squares

To make the four-patch units, sew medium and light background 2 ½” squares together in pairs. Sew two pairs together as shown below:

Sew the second row together, pressing seams toward the outside. Sew third row, pressing toward the center.

When sewing the three rows together, the seams should butt up against each other, making a flat join.
