2.5” Four Patch

Materials Needed

  • Fabric A: 2 pieces of 1½” x 1½”

  • Fabric B: 2 pieces of 1½” x 1½”

Fine Print

  • I would recommend tiny piecing for experienced Quilters.

  • This pattern assumes you know the basics of building these blocks and focuses on providing fabric requirements/cutting instructions and very high level piecing steps.

  • When tiny piecing, I find the following steps help alleviate some frustrations:

    • Reducing stitch length.

    • Pressing all seams open.

    • Using starch before cutting.

    • Starch, a clapper, and a wool press mat gets seams flat.

Instructions

  1. Create Row 1 by sewing Fabric A to the left of Fabric B and press seam open.

  2. Create Row 2 by sewing Fabric B to the left of Fabric A and press seam open.

  3. Sew Row 1 above Row 2 ensuring middle points are lined up.

  4. Press seam open and square (if needed) to 2½” x 2½”.
