* I used the same fabric choices as the 9-Patch block.
**Makes 2 total blocks**
Strip sets of each:
Light color- cut one 1 1/2" x 22" strip (small! they are those little patches!)
Dark color- cut one 1 1/2" x 22" strip
-Sew L&D strips together.
-Cut sewn strip into 16- 1 1/2" segments.
-Arrange segments into 8- 2 1/2" squares (outer corners with small squares, see picture below, on right).
-Cut 8- 2 1/2" squares from your Light color and one 2 1/2" square from your dark color (see picture below, on right, large light squares).
-Arrange rows:
Top row: small 4 patch square, large light color square, small 4 patch square.
Middle row: large light square, large dark square, large light square
Bottom row: small 4 patch square, large light color square, small 4 patch square.
-Sew row by row like the 9-Patch block.
TIPS
*Top and bottom row differ by the way the small dark squares lead into the middle.
*Make sure the seams butt up so that the seams line up for a nice meeting of corners. I found this block a little more difficult since I like my corners to always meet up perfectly. Didn't always happen!
