Super Simple Sampler Block #26

Today I have the how-to on making the 26th block in the Super Simple Sampler. This month the theme is four-patch. Here we go!

Cutting:

from the bright yellow: cut (1) 2″ x 6 1/2″ rectangle, (1) 5″ x 2″ rectangle

dark yellow: cut (1) 5″ x 2″ rectangle, (1) 3 1/2″ x 2″ rectangle

light blue and pink (from each): cut (2) 2″ squares

Sewing: 1/4″ seam, right sides facing, press after each seam

1. Pair each blue 2″ square with a pink 2″ square and sew together. Press toward the blue.

2. Arrange the blue/pink units to form a four patch (as shown above) and sew them together. Press.

3. Sew the 3 1/2″ x 2″ dark yellow rectangle to the bottom side of the four patch. Press toward the yellow.

4. Sew the dark yellow 2″ x 5″ rectangle to the right side of the four patch (adjacent to the first yellow rectangle as shown above). Press toward the yellow.

5. Sew the 5″ x 2″ bright yellow rectangle to the bottom of the four patch/dark yellow unit. Press toward yellow.

6. Sew the last yellow rectangle to the right side of the larger sewn unit. Press.

the block should measure 6 1/2″.

These blocks are a fun and easy interval project, great for scraps or your favorite fabric collection. Thanks for sewing with me!
