Mystery Quilt 2023 Step 5
This mystery quilt step is super easy. You will focus on creating 4-patches. The scrap quilt pattern aspect of it is less stressful as you are only using 4 squares. I randomly grabbed two scrappy colors and two backgrounds. It is mindless sewing and pressing.
4-Patches mean chain-sewing for me. It process speeds right along as you match a scrappy color with a background color. Carefully press the seams toward the darker color.
When you match the 2-Patches up, the seams should nest nicely together. Press the seam allowance to the side once you have created the 4-Patch. Take care of any trimming at this point.
I just realized that I didn’t take any additional photos of the step. Good thing it was a simple step. I am also posting it early. A weekend quilt retreat is calling to me. Now you won’t have to wait until I am back home.
