"Black & White Batik 4-Patch" by Jeannie
Directions:
Make 2 blocks for one entry - make one black with white print and one white with black print. These will be alternated in the quilt.
For 1 block: Cut 4 - 2 1/2" bright batik squares; 2 - 2 1/2" x 8 1/2" black with white print or white with black print strips and 2 - 2 1/2" x 4 1/2" strips of the same.
Sew: Make a 4-patch of the 2 1/2" squares, by sewing two pairs of these squares together, pressing seams in alternate directions. Then connect the two pairs into a 4-patch. Add the short strips to opposite sides of the 4-patch, press t away from the 4-patch. Then add the long strips to the remaining long sides, pressing them out. Square the blocks to 8 1/2".
