I laid four identical repeats on top of one another .....you want to pin this so they match reallly good...this is the only hard part...that takes some time.....I cut them into 4" strips .....then into 4" blocks and each stack of four made a 4 patch block....you can turn them any way as long as the same centers are matching....hope this helps....I found this to be lots of fun and very fast and a no brainer.....enjoy Oh here are the ones I've done
