I love this basic unit..

Choose the size you want to make and cut 2 narrow strips and two wide strips. Sew along one long edge of each.

Press toward the wide strip.

Pair two of the pieced strips right sides together with the narrow strips on opposite sides.

Trim into units as wide as the narrow strip.

Stitch each pair along one log edge.

Fold each unit in half to find the center and using your scissors snip all the way to the seam allowance.

Press Open.

Place a ruler with a 45 degree angle on the bottom of your unit so the edge lines up where the stitching lines meet as shown above and draw a line horizontally.  Rotate your unit and repeat.

Center each marked unit over a large rectangle, (that you cut per the instructions) with right sides together. Stitch on the lines and cut apart.

Press toward the large triangle and trim using your Tucker Trimmer.

Rotate your unit and trim again.

I made this small quilt measuring 42″ x 50″ using only shaded Four Patch Units.  You could make this any size you wanted with the instructions included in technique sheet.

I also made this table runner using only Shaded Four Patch Units.

This table runner was also made using only Shaded Four Patch units.  It’s all about color and how you position your units.
