Square in a Square using 2 pieces of fabric

This is a great way to work with pre-cuts. You need a charm pack and a layer cake, or use your own fabrics and cut 5" and 10" squares. If you have smaller squares, just cut the larger square twice the size of the smaller one.

1. Center the smaller square on the larger one. You can do this by folding both squares in quarters or you can use 2 rulers to measure in from the top and side and snug the smaller square against the 2 rulers.

2. Fold in 2 sides to the center and either pin or press the fold. Sew a 1/4" seam on each side and press open.

                                             

3. Fold in the top and bottom, pin or press and sew 1/4" seam top and bottom. Press open and your block is completed.
