Welcome to Week 4 of the Frame It Quilt Along!! This week we will be making all of our Square in Square Blocks (Steps 1-4 on the pattern).
Still need the pattern?
Digital (USA and Canada)
Paper (USA and Canada)
Digital (worldwide)
First you will want to decide which version you will be making:
- The main pattern
- Half square triangle method (uses more background fabric)
- Stitch and flip method (uses more main fabric and background fabric)
I recommend trying the Main pattern instructions with some scrap fabric before deciding on which method you want to use.
Tips for this week:
- Read ALL instructions
- Be gentle with the cut triangles
- Sew slowly
- Square up the finished Square in Square unit to the specified size. When squaring up the block measure 4 1/4 inch from the center of the block.
