Tutorial 16 - Easy 4-patch block

Today's very easy tutorial is the 4-patch block. Here's how to do it:

First, cut out 4 square pieces of fabric (any size you like), all 4 pieces must be the same size. For this example, I'm using 4 inch squares.
                                             

Sew in the order as shown, seam allowance is 1/4 inch (about 0.5cm).

Here is what I did with the above block - a simple Cathedral Window pincushion. :)

Front and Back views.

Another example is the 4-patch pencil cases which I have just made for the girls. (New school year starts on 02 January 2018.)

Another simple block made by sewing 3 pieces of fabric together lengthwise! :)

Hope you will find this tutorial useful! 

Happy Crafting and Happy New Year!! :)
