Charm Square 4 Patches
Several have asked about my charm square four patches. Here's a quick tutorial.
Sew two different 5" squares (right sides together) a 1/4" on opposite sides.
Cut them apart - in the middle - you now have two 2 1/2" units.
Press them open and sew two units together; again right sides together a 1/4" seam allowance on opposite sides.
Now cut those units apart in the middle and you have two four patches per pair of 5" charm squares.4" finished

Refresher ??? I didn't even know about that nice technique five minutes ago ! THANKS, Darlene !
(I just LOVE tutorials, because I'm a visual learner, and you're very good at it !)
Will have a try soon !
Biiiig hugs & smiles !
NADINE.
Ahhhhhh, so that's how it's done! Thanks for 'splaining!
I'm going to play with charms this weekend. Those would count as stashbusting, right? LOL
Well, you are just a clever girl. Your tutorial is great - now I want to cut some 5" patches and get to work. I have no suggestion on what to do -- I'll just wait until someone else comes up with a cool idea *s*
Thanks Darlene. I did not know about this way to do them. Hugs
Thanks for the tutorial. I had never seen that technique and I have 2 packages of charm packs. I am loving them and hope to buy more. Of course I couldn't grasp the concept at first but when I enlarged the picture I completely understood.
I'm sorry I missed your 101st post - congratulations :)))
Great tutorial...I always forget to do that. Thanks for refreshing my pitiful memory.
I have some nickel squares that I may just use to make four patches. I love your 16 patches. Looks like you've been having lots of fun.
Yup, I've done that! Isn't it fun!
I love to see ideas for the charm packs. I might try the 16 patches that looks really cute. A couple of week ago I finished making 160 4 patches using the method you shared, it's fun and so easy.
I didn't know about this way to use charms and I love to buy them and I have lots. This is a wonderful new way to put them to use.
What a great idea! I've never seen this done before--and what a great idea for using charm packs. Hmmm, I do have a couple of those somewhere in my stash....
Have just got some charm packs and was wondering what to do. Great idea. So you don't even cut off the edges?
Thanks
I think your blog is great. I dont see those as refreshers for me, I like to go around and gather info. Im learning how to quilt, so this is wonderful. Plus I love the content of your blog. I learn so much. thank you.
