Now the pieces that are left at the top and bottom can be used to make a 4 patch. There is very little waste with this method.

The two ends facing each other

Trim the edges

Match up the seams

The two seams together

I like to tack the seams so they can't move when I sew

Use a template to cut out the 4 patch Make sure your template corners are on the seams accurately or your 4 patch will be off on the corners

Sew them together

And voila a 4 patch!
