Central Quad


 
Hi!  If you enjoy this blog, please become
a follower, I need to know if anyone is out
there using these tutorials!  And pop on over
to the American Homestead blog and see what
is going on in my life.  All the best!  ~ Ellen
 

This is a quick and easy block.
You can use up your scraps.


Fabric Requirements:

Fabric A: White Print
4 - 3 1/2" x 6 1/2" rectangles
4 - 3 1/2" squares

Fabric B, C, D, E:  Red, Gold, Blue, Green
1 - 3 1/2" square of each color


Pair 3 1/2" squares as shown and sew
together.  Press seam to the darker fabric.


Place 3 1/2" x 6 1/2" rectangle
above the pieced rectangles and
sew together.  Press seams to the top.


Layout units as shown and sew
together in 2 rows.  Press seam in
row 1 to the left and seam in row 2
to the right.


Sew rows together and press final
seam open to reduce bulk.
Square to 12 1/2".


Here is an example where the quad
colors are the same but the backgrounds
change in alternating blocks.


Here is how it would look with 30's scraps.
