Hand Pieced QAL - the center Square in a Square alternative

Looking for an alternative way to create the center of our Eula block? 

Here is a quick tutorial on using the flip & stitch method to create our center as a Square in a Square (SinS) block.   (This is very similar to the Flying Geese tutorial).

For Eula, you will need:

• (1) large 3 1/2 " square (shown in white) 
• (4) small 2" squares (shown in blue)

On the wrong side of the smaller squares, draw your stitching line on the diagonal, making sure it starts and stops 1/4'' from the edge.    (See the tutorial on marking stitching lines.)

Align a single smaller square along one corner of the larger square and stitch along marked stitched lines.  Trim away the excess, leaving a 1/4'' seam  (see photo below), fold back corner and finger press.  Align a second smaller square along one corner of the larger square and stitch along marked lines.  Trim away the excess leaving a 1/4'' seam, fold back corner and finger press.  Repeat to attach all corners.

The smaller squares can be attached in any order.  Your finished unit should match the dimensions of the larger square - trim carefully if needed.

Please follow the rest of the assembly instructions on Kristin's post to complete your Eula block!

Have a wonderful day! Patty
