It wasn't difficult at all, I just cut 2" strips from LOTS of different fabrics and subcut into 2" squares. I used one foil baking pan to put all the light squares in and one for all the dark squares. (These pans stack easily. I also have some with other size squares and various size strips just waiting to be put together.)
When I had a few minutes, I would sit down with both pans and pair up one dark with one light placing them right sides together. I stacked the pairs turning each slightly to make it easy to pick up just one pair at a time. I kept a stack or two at my machine while sewing other quilts and sewed one pair at the end of each chain stitching group. I was amazed how quickly the pairs piled up and soon the pairs turned into 4 patches.
It was a really fun project.
