The Thrifty Quilt Block
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:

Arrange as shown at the top of the page, and sew the top row together. Press seams toward the center of the row.
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.
