Good idea! So many of us quilters have these square sizes already from charm packs or mini charms, as well as left-overs- this is an easy and adaptable way to use them! Yum!
Thank you for a straight forward approach to making these squares. Your have such wonderful tips and tricks for making any blocks and I have picked up several new (easy) ways to sew my blocks by watching your videos. Please keep up the good work.
Thanks for that tutorial. What a fantastic and beautiful way to use up those scraps, that normally seems so wasteful to discard. Very inspirational and as a retiree, can't afford to constantly buy new fabric. Stash here I come!!!.
Love the new block and as always your tutorial rocks! I've always loved how you make such delicious quilts using simple tools. Proof that it's not necessary to have a bunch of expensive gadgets to make beautiful quilts. Thanks bunches for all you share! Huggers!
Thank you for the floating four patch block. Your tutorials ate wonderfully taught. Great job.....I am going to make this for a baby quilt. Gloria Schleh from Missouri,.
I have way too many scraps. Ive been using my accuquilt to cut up squares and triangles but it keeps growing. LOL Love this and I will try to make as many charity quilts as I can with this block, Thanks so much!
Great video , love your posts.I brought all your patterns one time and downloaded them, my computer crashed and I lost them all. That bothered me the most
Love the tutorial. I have a question as a newbie quilter who still doesn't get the math down right. If I use 5" to make my 4 patch instead of 2.5 inch squares, how big will the surrounding square need to be cut?
If you cut your 5 inch square to make the four patch, each piece will be 2 and a half inches. you are doing exactly the same as Susan is doing. So just follow the video. Hope this helps
Catherine Eddy Thanks but you misunderstood the question. My squares I am using are five inch and will remain as such. I need to know the size of squares I need to surround the four patch. I was just going to double to 10 inches which is basically the "formula" Susan used but wanted to be sure before wasting fabric cutting the wrong size.
I really love this, most of the square in a square blocks have such odd math involved, and I love how easy this is with all my leftovers! You are always so clever and your instructions are so clear, thanks again, for another wonderful tutorial!
Thanks so much for sharing this. A really nice block that I will have to try. I am a very new beginning quilter...just having done very small projects. I always enjoy your videos.
Thank you for another useful and easy idea of quilt making. You always use scraps and no "fancy" tools, which is GREAT! Not everyone can afford to buy new fabrics/tools etc. but you always come up with great ideas with simple techniques! Thanks again. I will try this as I have heaps of fabrics. This will make a nice baby quilt as well, is it not? God Bless your work.
Thanks so much for sharing this. A really nice block that I will have to try. I am a very new beginning quilter...just having done very small projects. I always enjoy your videos.
Wonderful video! I have lots of scraps and I just love this. I also love your design wall with the grids. Would love to know if you purchased it with grids or drew them. Thank you for sharing!
I LOVE all your tutorials, including this one! I have been making four patches as my leader and ender project for the past couple of years, just using leftover 2.5 inch squares and strips, so I have a container of them ready to go! Now to decide on the 5 inch squares from my stash. Thank you so much for your tutorials!
Haven't seen your videos in a while. Glad to see Bernini is now supporting your talent. Love your accent and your teaching which is quite clear and easy to follow. Hugs from the US.
hello, you are very pleasant to follow, very clear steps. How does one build a ''design board', like your's? very nice tool I must say. I am a beginner after purchasing a $120.00 12 in cushion from a design shop!!!!! heck I can now make my own at a fraction of the price!!! regards.
Hi, I really appreciate the demonstration for cutting down the quilt blocks using the quilting ruler. I am visually impaired now and was worried about these kinds of details but seems like I will be able to figure this out. :). You make it look so fun and fulfilling, I wish I had a family member to watch doing this growing up. :)
This patch work is perfect for areas of the world that only have access to small pieces of fabric...some times they buy them in bulk from dress makers, and buy them cheaper than per the yard. I come from Central America, where fabric is very expensive, if purchased by the yard. Thank you for all your work, I think I am going to make a purse, 2 patches, one for the front and another for the back, because I am not a quilter, only a "sampler sewer" I just love this 4 patch block.

Can you explain or show the quilt that appears behind you in your videos? I really enjoy your videos but I am fascinated (and distracted! lol) with the quilts that usually hang behind you.
Hi Susan, i am from south africa and watch all your videos. can you please show us how you did the quilt hanging in the back of this video.please? just love the colours and patern. thanks mariet
I have been quilting for years now. I am self taught. I am missing some vital foundation information. Thank you for going over some of the basics. It was very helpful. I subscribed immediately.

this is fantastic some of my favorites all in one, scrappy patchwork and triangles!
Lovely video, so well explained as you always do. Thanks for your patience with us.

Hi I'm a beginner and this block looks fab for me thanks for the video :)
New to quilting and your channel, but truly inspired by your techniques and how you explain the process...super simply!! Thanks so much!!
Thank you, what a great idea! And so easy
Thank you for the great tutorial! I have a ton of squares I can use for this block. Can't wait to get started!
Great way to use leftovers 😊😊
Thank you for this tutorial!
The blocks look good.
very good tutorial !
awesome.thank u very much.
Parabéns !! Adorei.
Great video , love your posts.I brought all your patterns one time and downloaded them, my computer crashed and I lost them all. That bothered me the most
I’d like to make some yummy blocks using 5” charm squares. How large would I need to cut the blocks to make the triangles?
Love the tutorial. I have a question as a newbie quilter who still doesn't get the math down right. If I use 5" to make my 4 patch instead of 2.5 inch squares, how big will the surrounding square need to be cut?

I was just going to double to 10 inches which is basically the "formula" Susan used but wanted to be sure before wasting fabric cutting the wrong size.
I had the same question. I have so many leftover charm packs and layer cakes. By my calculation, it should work. Have you tried it yet?
5 inch squares with 10.inch should work mathematically and final square about double size
I'm making this quilt on the quilt you showed on the boarder how did she put those blocks between borders
I really love this, most of the square in a square blocks have such odd math involved, and I love how easy this is with all my leftovers! You are always so clever and your instructions are so clear, thanks again, for another wonderful tutorial!
I agree with Carol. :)

I don't think I'm measuring right i don't have your ruler my ruler doesn't have those square like yours otherwise its like yours can you help me
Thanks for such a lovely tutorial. Wishing you well in these difficult times.
Could you tell me the brand/where to buy your square up ruler? All I’ve been able to find are clear I much like the yellow better😊
Love the quilt and so easy to do, thank you for another great tutorial.
Thanks. Trying to use up Christmas fabric odds and ends and this is perfect.
You might want to check your closed captioning. It is way off and actually off color in some of it.
So if you wanted to use 2 inch squares would your larger square be cut 4 inches or 4.5 inches?
thank you... keep making videos please
Gourmet Quilter, you have such a nice accent. And, u r a great teacher. Thank U.
Enjoyable video I love scrappy quilts ...
This is a keeper, for sure, I love how your friend did the borders. I want to do that, too. Thank you,

Mario Denis can use back of flannel plastic tablecloth tacked to wall carefully. Spring is good time to find those. About 5 or 10 dollars
Love, love, love this scrappy quilt! Thank you for sharing!
very easy! im a beginner and this is really nice to start, thanks
Awesome hint to line up the triangle point to get centered.
I love the quilt behind you.♥️♥️ will you have a tutorial on how to make it?
