2019 Gypsy Wife Quilt Along - Section 5 SqNsq blocks





For section 5 we need to make two (2) 4in Square-in-a-square blocks and one (1) 3in block.  Cutting directions can be found on page 22.





I cut the pieces needed for both 4in blocks... one large center and 4 small corner squares.



We have made this block before... maybe in a different size.... but the construction is the same.

You can fold each of the small squares in half diagonally or draw a diagonal line on each one.

Pin two squares to opposite corners of the large center square.   Sew beside the diagonal line and flip over to the corner to meet the edges.   The bottom layers are cut away.

Add the other two opposite corners, sew and flip to complete the block.   Repeat this process to make the second block.




 Repeat this same procedure for the smaller block.


 

I used my Buddy Ruler and created the bonus HSTs.  You can draw a second line 1/4in from the first, stitch and then cut between the two sewn lines to create these cute bonus HSTs.
